I don't know if that works here.

I like the idea RETurkel repeated here some time ago that an oqimta is
the gemara's way to construct a case where the stated law holds, and
there are no counterveiling issues involved.

Which might allow us to distinguish between dinim that have outlandish
cases suggested, and a din in which could only apply in the outlandish 
case.

Here, the constraint isn't that there may be an overriding issue, it's
that it is hard to imagine a situation where blood would fall on the
floor of the azarah and not spread.

Tir'u baTov!
