What I mesn is, you said "X's nature depends on how X acts", and my question was that wouldn't it make more sense to say the reverse? That X's actions are dependent on its nature?
That's the thing about tautological statements - either way makes equal sense. For example,
A. All bachelors are unmarried men.
B. All unmarried men are bachelors.
The statement is the same (and equally pointless) either way.
