I see what you meant. When I read it, it did not make sense to me. There is also the Melkor element in both that sent the whole thing down in flames. In Aman his lies spread among the Noldor further fanning the flames. In Númenor Sauron, like Melkor did in his first meeting with Men, had them in the end putting Melkor as Lord. So the finishing touches in Aman and in Númenor were enacted by rebellious Ainur.

The one seems to have started with reincarnation and a 2nd marriage, making strife between siblings, the other with the decision of one sibling to a fate in which his descendants would all be mortal and for the most part come to regret their Fate.
