thats merely a theory. It's not a proven fact that the uchiha originated from the hyuuga. And even if it did, it was through a gradual process of evolution, not some sudden thing. It mightve even happened before the head/branch status ever existed.

besides, in this point in time, the byakugan is byakugan and sharingan is sharingan. The purpose of the branch family is to preserve the byakugan bloodlimit, not the sharingan bloodlimit.
