A corrected ohms law would say something to the effect of "current flow is proportional to resistance".

Okay, so let's say it's a DC circuit, and the positive source shares a parallel trace two both resistive loads.
You close a switch, and current flows to both loads, since both see the same potential to ground.
I'm guessing that if you have inline ammeters at each load, that the 1-ohm load will see ten times the amount of amperage flowing to ground, compared to the 10-ohm load?
Is that the gist of where you were going?
