The idea that equality is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive "should" be
introduced in 7th grade (possibly sooner), and "should" be pretty well
consolidated before students reach HS physics ... let alone college
physics.
Equality is a much simpler notion than causation. Why use something
complicated as a rung on the climb to something simpler? That violates the
most basic pedagogical principles.
