💡Pro Tip

Avoiding False Comparisons

When making comparisons, ensure the things being compared share relevant similarities. For example, comparing the nutritional value of an apple to an orange is valid, but comparing an apple to a car is not.

Gold Rule

Rule of Relevance

Only compare entities that share a relevant common ground. Irrelevant comparisons lead to misleading conclusions.
