  Do you think this is clever? For a metaphor to be relevant to a discussion it has to be fitting, not just a dunk.

    It’s not a metaphor. I was giving a counterexample to your implied claim that popularity is an indicator of quality.

      That wasn't an implied claim because we're not discussing metrics for judging quality.
