I remember doing something similar -- for example, during the first Iraq war my teacher wanted a paper about the importance of stopping warmongering governments quickly. (Basically trying to compare Saddam to Hitler)
Instead I "wondered" if the world would have come to the defense of native Americans if only they had the technology to see what early Americans were doing to them.......
It was more interesting this way, and allows us to claim our own perspective. It has also enabled me to train myself to always attempt to find a way to get alternate perspectives on any perspective, look for anomalies, look for paradigmatic consistency and edges.
