I don't see how any of that makes the comparison "silly". It's not like we have so many instances of computer paradigms to go around comparing.

  It's like measuring a gun in units of swords. You can achieve similar ends but they aren't the same. Or the companionship of a spouse in units of pets. The fundamental unit is at the affect level, not the application. That's a very important distinction. Any model comparing the application then is fundamentally misinformation. It's even worse because it suggests an equivocation is possible. As if you can get X units of dogs as a substitute for Y units of spouse. You just have to find the magic ratio! Wrong framings can stick people in insolvable problems well, sometimes for generations. It's really bad. They're fundamentally different and pretending otherwise is just going in the one of the most useless directions possible
