A quote from an official document including chapter + paragraph, perhaps?
A link to it?

Vilas, all the documents I have seen, including "getting to grips with aircraft performance" show climb gradient requirements as a CONSTANT flight path, not an average one over a certain distance.

So a "7 % climb gradient to 3600 ft" is NOT the same as "cross 8,465 DME at 3600 ft or above" (= average climb gradient of 7 %)

Once again: I do not mind to be corrected on this, but until you come up with a verifiable trustworthy source I respectfully dare to say that you are just wrong!
