A deviation in scoring protocol?

I'm looking at the AP Mech C practice FRQ:
 
On part c, the scoring rubric says "1 point is earned for [graphing] a pair of quantities that could be used to determine g - students must graph measured, not calculated quantities."
 
Does this mean that graphing kx vs. Msinθ would not earn the point? If so, that would deviate from past AP Exams, would it not?

I'm not following you, Fizziks. None of the graphed values (kx vs. Msinθ) are theoretical.

  • k - must be calculated somehow, based on measurements of force, displacement, and/or the like
  • x - measured
  • M - measured
  • θ - measured
  • sinθ - calculated

What theoretical values are you referring to?
