What do you mean by balancing of outcome? If you're talking about things like family friends giving people opportunities, that would go back to opportunity being equal, which I agree with. I however do not agree that people should get further with less achievement because of opportunity, so I would completely agree with this quote. I may be missing the point you're making though.
I'm thinking of programs such as social security in the US. Retirement benefits have nothing to do with opportunity since the people who collect it aren't looking for employment. The aim is not to make outcome perfectly equal, but it certainly makes outcome more equal than it would otherwise be.
