You’re addressing “yes do something but not that”, which ventures so far into other what-if areas to be a purely theoretical discussion

A theoretical discussion still has value, but if you are debating past policies it will usually give advantage to the opposition. We only know the outcome from one party, and we are comparing it to a party that could have had (theoretically) an infinite amount of different outcomes had they enacted a different policy.
