If it's like you said, why did the Sharingan split from the Rinnegan in such a unusual way? Compare those two: The Rinnegan is a Sharinnegan without the Tomoe. The Sharingan, however, loses both, Tomoe and most of the rings, but both things not entirely. Wouldn't it make more sense if the Sharingan lost all rings, but no tomoe?

I never thought about it that way.
