There’s a saying in German: “Nicht alles was hinkt ist ein Vergleich”.
Roughly translated: “Not everything which is flawed is an analogy.”
People do say “I’m going to do the same” when doing something that has the same kind of outcome without being an identical copy of an action.
People do not use a bat (animal) as a replacement for a bat (sports equipment) because usually people understand the concept of homonyms.
That’s really not the comeback that you think it is.

People also understand degrees of meaning and hyperbole. The fact that you seem to think that my response was a comeback shows exactly why you are struggling with this entire argument.

So your point was that your argument was just hyperbole and thus doesn’t make sense?
Ok, we can go with that.
