It's not quite the same thing. Nagato and the others inherited Yahiko's ideologies. In my opinion, Yahiko did believe in his ideas a lot. This is why i made the analogy between him and Naruto/Hashirama. Naruto didn't go on a rampage and didn't kill Nagato, despite him killing not only his master, but his sensei as well, and destroyed his entire village. Hashirama would've went as far as killing himself for his clan and peace, despite defeating Madara. Even when he beat his toughest enemy, he still put his ideologies above his own life. I do believe that Yahiko wouldn't have strayed away from his path even if Konan would've died. Much like Hashirama, he willingly stab himself in Nagato's kunai and died for his ideas on his own accord.
