Ok, it can only see the best one, but if I have a machine with only Tahiti cards, the server knows that machine has Tahiti or lower spec cards, and shouldn't be sending gravity at all. In my machine with a Fury and a Tahiti, it knows I have a Fury, and something equal to or less than a Fury, so sending gravity is ok, because at least one card can do them. Then it's up to me to prevent them going onto the other card.
It should be very easy to add a list of "can't do gravity" cards, by scanning through invalid returns. Even if it was incomplete, it would be helpful in most cases.
What would probably be going too far (with regards to effort by the server operators) is to see all the cards, determine that x% of my GPU power can do gravity, and send an appropriate proportion of gravity and gamma out.

I don't get the rationale of excluding science based on how many magic internet points you are awarded, especially since those points aren't even that indicative of the computation used between different apps much less different projects.

Alot of it has to do with the minimum requirements for the tasks, ie some tasks require 4gb of onboard the gpu memory and will fail on all gpu's with less than that. I would guess going forward more and more gpu tasks will be heading that way as the gpu's themselves get more and more onboard memory.

I fully support this, my rigs do just whatever task is distributed. So gravitational waves.
But still it feels a bit of a bummer when looking at rankings, even if its against random internet people regarding magic internet points. xD

Points are useful to tell if your rig is doing well.

It gives the bored admins something to do. It seems to turn them on. Oops, sexual reference, against rule 7B, subsection 4F.
