So a normal tree would not have had the same results.
But those are all Satan's actions. Surely god would have been able to come up with a fool proof plan, unless of course.....Yes! That's it. God wanted it to happen that way, so not only did he have a broken creation that required his salvation but he blamed the creation for his failures.
It's brilliant. Brilliantly sadistic, that is.
