This is the mistake you keep making. Total power
is better than taking left-side power and doubling. That's because left-side power is not always a consistent fraction of total power. We don't care about the load on each leg; we care about the total load on the body. Doubling left-side does not give us that. Independent left/ right values do not give us anything demonstrably better than that. Having total power is an advantage. Having left/ right split is not.
