I agree. That logic is like evaluating a KRPkrp endgame by looking first at The
corresponding KRPkr EGTB. And seeing only a draw for white, thus concluding that
black must be better. Bad things are sure to happen then, since that extra black
pawn may hurt black. You can't even be certain of it if the corresponding KRkrp
is won for black. Chess don't work this way (subgames are not additive), and I
remember quite a few endgames where I would gladly have given a pawn away for
free. To secure a draw. Faulty logic.
