The "linear evaluation" is not accurate in _any_ case. For example, KNK is a draw, but adding a pawn for white is not simply summing 1 point, but getting a won position. Or a mid-game postion with a pawn up can be a draw, and a second pawn can turn it into a win. So this is very difficult to handle and, programs that do evaluate correctly these things have a great advantage over the ones only summing material.
