There's an alternate interpretation, btw, that no-one has brought
up yet.
1. (Accepting Fool's Premise): Since "winning" is, by common
definition, part and parcel of ending the game, the two aren't
separable.
2. Therefore, any rule that attempts to award a win is
unsuccessful if it does not also have the power to end all
aspects of the game.
3. Therefore, the Win attempt failed in the first place, as the
rule was not powerful enough to end the game, therefore not
powerful enough to declare someone the winner.
