Weren't questions like this similar to the ones philosphers asked themselves to test and expound their theories?

When doing so, their questions would be directed at the actual argument -- not a seemingly similar but actually different argument. You wish to equate the inaction of "a" with the infringe of a natural right of "b" while ignoring the defining concepts of such rights. In short, you are using semantics and ambiguity to distract from the actual argument.
