If your method of understanding the world consist of constructing hypothetical scenarios like that you will not be able to understand history. History isn't shaped by considerations such as "x has some common traits with y and therefore x and y should be treated the same" (leaving aside the whole discussion of what actually constitutes common traits). Case in point, you had a question which you couldn't answer through that method. I gave you an explanation that explains the need for another method (study of the historical events in their context); you came back insisting that history should bend to your will. You might be surprised to learn that doesn't work like that, eventually.
