They always say the two things being compared aren't the same, but isn't that the point? Comparing one concept shared by two unalike things?
For example:
John (very nerdy): It's been 3 days since I failed that math test, and I still feel like crap. And it was all because I forgot the y in that stupid formula! If I'd just studied a little harder...
Kyle (very musical): You're still upset about that? Grow a pair, dear God!
Me: Kyle, imagine you had been practicing for weeks for a big concert. You had everything perfect, but then on the big day, you played an Ab's instead of A's during your big solo and it messed up the whole thing. How would you feel?
Redditor: Holy shit! You think a concert is the same thing as a test? Because it's not. And I can prove it! Come to a concert with me and then we'll take the ACT. You'll see.
