Here's the error: But Adam was disobedient to God’s revelation about right and wrong when he ate the fruit. He decided that he wanted to rely on his own judgment about what was right and wrong, not God’s judgment.
This does not fit God's comment in Genesis:
Genesis 3:22 And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.
The serpent deceived by telling part of the truth; Adam did truly become like God, knowing good and evil, as God attests. The problem was that Adam could not be truly good, which separated him from God.

Man truly became able to know good and evil like God. That's what God says. It's not some "on my terms" idea. Humans truly became like God in their ability to know good and evil.

It's not relying on his own judgement after he becomes like God and knows the difference.
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves: 15 Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,
Other animals (far as we know) are innocent. They have no way to know good and evil, and they are therefore blameless. Only after humans clearly understood good and evil (as St. Paul points out) were they culpable for their behavior.
