to the op: mathematically the 3/2 system or proportional system or etc works perfectly…
that is not what people mean when they say it does not equate–they believe that a score, converted proportionally, will be better than it used to be
for example, according to this belief a 2100 is better than an old 1400, and a 2200 is close to the “new 1500,” according to speculation on these forums
this deflation is an attempt to account for the added section, fatigue, etc.

to compare scores and verify this you will have to wait for the official curve, and use that
