Its not hardly that simple, the displacement of land upwards is minimal compared to the ice, also the density of the land underneath is not equal to the water, also molten iron (fudge) does not operate like water, also if land moves upward other land bodies need to move downward.
And I can go on, we are talking non-ideal non-linear behaviors that can take hundreds of years to react to something up top in almost the way you think.
So you = FAIL.
