So you’re saying I didn’t compare the KKK against anti-genocide protesters, when I pointed out the difference between them. And that’s your position derived from everyday language. Right.
Got a question for you then: We all know not to compare apples and oranges, but why would we want to compare apples and apples? I have an answer: it’s because at the supermarket, I want to choose the freshest apples to buy. So I compare them by how fresh they look. But since you say comparison isn’t for differences, why would you want to compare apples?
Yes, those definitions are correct in a mathematical context. But everyday language works differently.
