What's The Point of Playing the Ladder?

I understand the reasoning. I realize people try to do it. I just don't know how successful someone can be in getting to a certain position. Fairly easy to move a couple positions to avoid someone. You have a 50% chance of being on the opposite side of the ladder. But if you are trying for a certain position, as you said, you try for an ET range that gets you into that position, but if someone runs quicker and moves ahead of you, you are now shooting for a different ET than you thought, but you don't know that because you are rolling thru the staging lanes. This can even mess up trying to just get to the other side of the ladder.
Seems like people try to do it. I'm just curious how successful they are when they can't control what others do.
