Your extremely close analogy gets to the crux of why people are disagreeing here: It doesn’t have to be analogy. You can be pointing out an equivalence.

Regardless this was my whole point. The original point was a fallacy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

I'd be interested in your reason for thinking so but I think you can see your supporting argument is not compelling:

> I'm guessing there is an unspoken financial incentive guiding your point of view.
