Yeah, that's my point! Same discussion, same arguments. And the arguments often have that air of "this is absolute, no other possible explanation exists". I'm not overly fond of this. While discussing alternative history may be fun it certainly isn't anything you can claim to be an expert of, since you're discussing things that never could happen, since they never actually happened. You can claim that something was more probable to happen, but you cannot say that it would definitely happen. Same goes for predicting the future. Imagine if every single prediction turned out to be true. Would be one messed up world...
