I'm not addressing it. Come up with another example.
The universe displays drug addiction; therefore, the universe is addicted to drugs. A drug addicted universe is what we call [insert arbitrary noun].
I don't see how changing the example makes any difference. It looks exaclty like your point.
The universe displays [insert a human condition]; therefore, the universe [is subject to this condition]. A universe [subject to this condition] is what we call [arbitrary noun].
