Seeing as how in both the original anime and the manga/brotherhood, the power in them came from human souls, I'd venture to guess that wouldn't work.

    Irrelevant in the face of established cannon. If you're going to make an in-universe argument then you have to stay inside the magic circle while making it.

    This is like arguing Star Trek wrap drives wouldn't work because our current understanding of physics means Alcubierre drives are impossible to operate. You're applying a real-world understanding to a fictional universe that has written that part of reality away (for whatever reason).

    The only point such an argument makes is that the arguer is ignorant of the source material.

    Maybe discovering alchemy is what makes a species’ soul worth more. If the goats discovered alchemy, we could use them to make philosopher’s stones. Or, my likely, they would use us to make philosopher’s stones.
