Apr 14, 2020 at 9:39 comment added Philip Brooker @NikWeaver: I seem to recall that I discovered it by accident, when trawling through Eve Oja's papers on Zentralblatt Math as a graduate student. I made a mental note of it at the time ("the norm on a direct sum need not be 'like' a direct sum of norms"), but haven't used it since - until now!

I added a note to my answer acknowledging Bill Johnson's counterexample in the comments
Apr 14, 2020 at 9:29 comment added Philip Brooker @BillJohnson: thanks, Bill! That's a nice, simple way of stating a counterexample; I'd had a specific such counterexample in mind (i.e., of quasi-complemented, non-complemented subspaces of $\ell_2$), but hadn't thought about it in such general terms.
Apr 11, 2020 at 18:25 comment added Bill Johnson Take $H$, $K$ to be quasi-complementary, non complementary subspaces of a Hilbert space $J$ and norm $H \oplus K$ with $\|(x,y)\| := \|x+y\|_J$.

Provided some details of the additional hypothesis and fixed some typos
