In either case, some caution must be used. In observing similar concepts or characteristics; it doesn't follow that there is a connection.  Even if Y looks somewhat like X, you need to show why you think the two are connected, it's not enough to just show that they are similar. 

One might also point out, that you are just pushing the problem back further; and now would be talking about this source which the other was supposedly derived from.  Pointing to something else, certainly is an end of one's argument.

The two are connected by neither have ever been proven to exist. It makes no difference how far back you go with this, todays bullshit is the same as yesterdays bullshit.
