Are you saying comparing apples and oranges is the only way to effectively make your point?

Dogs and livestock are quite different. We keep them around for entirely different reasons.

Certainly not an apples and oranges comparison. The distinction you've pointed to is in no way relevant to the point that was being made.
There is a difference between inherent difference, and difference in the meaning we assign to things.
