Comment on When people say two things "cannot be compared", they had to compare them to come to this conclusion. Are 'dissimilar' or 'unequal' better words?

I take “cannot be compared” to be a sort of shorthand claim - they aren’t actually asserting that the two thongs literally cannot be compared at all, but that they cannot be compared meaningfully or relevantly.
