contents Grade-$d$ measures on a $σ$-algebra $\mathcal{A}\subseteq 2^X$ over a set $X$ are generalizations of measures satisfying one of a hierarchy of weak additivity-type conditions initially introduced as interference operators in quantum mechanics. Every signed polymeasure $λ$ on $(X,\mathcal{A})^d$ produces a grade-$d$ measure as its diagonal $\widetildeλ(A):=λ(A,\cdots,A)$, and we prove that as soon as $d\ge 2$ measures (as opposed to polymeasures) do not suffice: the separate $σ$-additivity of a $λ$ producing $μ=\widetildeλ$ cannot, generally, be amplified to global $σ$-additivity. This amends a result in the literature, asserting the contrary in case $d=2$.
