The tree of knowledge is clearly the law. Look how Romans 3:20 puts it:
Because in (the) law all flesh will not be made right in his eyes; for through the law is full knowledge of wrong.
Paul may not have realized it, but the parallels are clear. The tree of knowledge makes you guilty. The law also makes you guilty. The tree of knowledge kills you. The law also kills you. The tree of knowledge gives knowledge of wrong. The law also gives knowledge of wrong.

Like I already said: the tree of knowledge makes you guilty because you knew better and did it anyway. A child that takes things is not a thief because they don't have the brain development to know better. Stealing is wrong even if the child doesn't understand, and it's the parents responsibility and right to prevent the child from stealing.
Your analogy is reaching. I don't think it's a logical similarity.

How can you know better without having that knowledge? They were given a warning but didn't understand its consequences.
