Even if that was the argument, the precedent only stands when you are working with a card that still functions positively without making changes for it to work as intended. That's the precedent set by Split Altar, which is by no mean hard and fast. Either way, this situation is not comparable because Revolt would not do anything positive at all if it had to work under the order of operations as opposed to the order written on the card, and Split Altar does.
