Additivity — the ladder

One essay so far against this idea. A ladder is the distinct arguments that stand against one idea, and this one has room to grow.

    Outcomes do not add

    Knowing who wins each part of a position tells almost nothing about who wins the whole. Two first-player wins can sum to a second-player win, or to another first-player win, and no rule distinguishes the cases from the outcomes alone.
