Tug of war: two blokes pull with exactly the same force (in Newtons = tension). The rope is joined in the middle by a metal ring (or let's call it rim). One side of the rope is a tiny 15 mm diameter, the other is bigger, 23 mm diameter... do you agree the rope is irrelevant and nobody wins?
See the analogy?
