If a match stops working, so do you. You can’t change just one thing.
I found this line of thought difficult to follow. The deeper, underlying rule is kinda far down from the surface level rules.
Maybe a simpler example would be helpful.
Surface level rule: If you remove an apple from its tree branch it’ll fall to the ground.
Surface level rule: If you remove an orange from its tree branch it’ll fall to the ground.
Underlying rule: Gravity.
If you stepped into a world where apples didn’t fall to the ground it’d imply that gravity doesn’t work, which would imply that oranges also wouldn’t fall to the ground, as well as a bunch of other things.
If there was some fantasy novel where apples didn’t fall but oranges, pears, lemons, limes, etc. did fall, you’d react with a raised eyebrow. Or at least have to suspend your disbelief.
