I certainly agree that the JW position on blood transfusions should be changed.
I also agree that the sort of tortuous argumentation you've presented would be necessary to unwind the Society from its longstanding position.
How much simpler, though, it would be for the Society to state and act according to the obvious: "The Bible says nothing about blood transfusions and so henceforth, neither will we. Transfusions are a matter for each individual's conscience."
