I hear it's the victors that decide what history is. Thus, by making up history, I am a victor.

Hmm… I think that’s related, but not quite what we’re looking for here. Maybe this one would work better.

according to the history I just made up, I did already

If A then B =/= If B then A

If it rains, the ground gets wet. (If A, then B.)

If the ground is wet, it won’t cause clouds to start raining.

If the ground is wet, it may have been caused by a recent rain, but there are other possible causes too.
