The Sharingan and the Rinnegan being evolutions/devolutions/stages/progressions/forms whatever nonsense of each other was proven wrong the moment Rinne Sharingan got introduced and explained. Therefore I can't understand, how can the majority of the fandom still believe it goes Sharingan > Rinnegan/Rinnegan > Sharingan or whatever, even though the story has shown otherwise, stop clinging to one specific statement in the entire manga and ignoring the rest. Do people not know what the word hypothesis even means? It's an assumption that if x conditions are met, y might happen.

The thing is, the hypothesis:
 * Wasn't proven right
 * It worked with a false premise to begin with

Orochimaru and Kabuto believed that if you merge Senju and Uchiha power, it will make the Sharingan progress beyond the Rinnegan... Madara's Rinnegan didn't prove this correct, since Senju power of friendship enhancing Uchiha's Sharingan doesn't create the Rinnegan, Madara awakened the Rinnegan not because of Senju and Uchiha power merger or any eye enhancement, but because he happened to be Indra incarnate and Hashirama, whose cells he had stolen and applied onto himself, happened to be Asura incarnate. Said procedure resulted in recreation of Hagoromo's chakra in Madara's body, which brought forth the Rinnegan.

Now, Kaguya, Momoshiki and Urashiki have the Rinne Sharingan and Rinnegan respectively, all predating Hagoromo's Rinnegan. Then how the **** can you claim and be so adamant about the Rinnegan's evolution/devolution into the Sharingan and that the Sharingan can backwards evolve/devolve into the Rinnegan, even though it's a logical fallacy?

Look at Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan, Hagoromo's Rinnegan is a derivative of it, since the former came before the latter and the latter is former's son. It's also all in the name and appearance: Rinne Sharingan Just coincidentally also looking like a mix of Rinnegan and Sharingan. Well, how can that be possible if Sharingan came from Rinnegan/Rinnegan comes from Sharingan (another logical fallacy here, would be like saying you are your child's parent but your child also happen to be your parent), that's because it didn't, both Sharingan and Rinnegan came from Rinne Sharingan, not from each other.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi got referred to both as a Sharingan genjutsu and Rinnegan genjutsu and its victims happen to have Rinnegan eye patter while under its effect, that's because the Rinne Sharingan is both the Rinnegan and Sharingan and it predates both, meaning the Rinnegan and Sharingan come from the Rinne Sharingan. But in that case they can't come from one other. /the end
