You can say the same thing about almost any other kind of comparison that's not strictly numeric.

That's an argument against making similar comparisons in other domains, too; you're supporting my claim, not contradicting it. People absolutely do make these comparisons, but I wouldn't point to what people happen to do as evidence that any random one of those things makes any sense.

I get it; we like these comparisons. They're fun. They're also -- at best -- misleading.
