And for the record, IT WASN'T A COMPARISON. It was a joke.
But if you insist on calling it a comparison, I'll surrender, but offer this: sometimes it helps to use an extreme example if you want to make a point. Like the dude who ate at McDonald's for a month straight. Sure, it's not 100 percent accurate because nobody does that. But by going to an extreme, he proved McDonald's eaten in large quantities not only is bad for you, it can damage your liver for ****'s sake.
It's not that hard to understand.
