I'm tempted to call Bakkot's idea King Robert's Rule after the character in A Game of Thrones. He was very good at becoming King, but bad at ruling.
It's not that there's a failure of measurement, it's that sometimes there are high rewards for winning, and (while you want your King to be competent at war), competence at war isn't how people are measuring their ideal King, it's just that the route to becoming King might include being a war leader.
"Baratheon's Rule" sounds less generic.
It's long been known that it's easier to conquer than to rule...
