How does the text contrast the nature of a fighter's win versus an engineer's win?

The fighter's win is binary; the engineer's win is additive and preventative.

The text explains that a fighter's win is binary (decision secured or not), whereas the engineer's win is additive, accruing value over time by preventing disaster repeatedly.
