No, because it's already broken. That's the point that was being made and you are not addressing that here.

Your car's broken: oil pan needs to be replaced and it's in the shop. $2,000 repair.

While it's in the shop, it falls off the lift: $10,000 damage. Now your formerly "broken" car is even more broken? Is the situation still the same?

What sort of argumentation is this? You know full well that something broken in one regard can be further broken in an unrelated regard.
