I have lots of friends who are ex-8200 (high levels of hightech are surprisingly full of them actually) and this is the first time I hear about that. If you mean that selection that happens at 17yo is based on grades and teachers evaluations since kindergarten - that might be, but it sounds different than "selection starts at 4yo" which implies that 4yo kids are selected and followed all their life.

I mean, they were followed all their life when they arrive at the final selection process, it is a track record after all

Yes, but they are followed then selected, not selected then followed. Which has totally different dystopian taste.
