It might be flimsy, or perhaps fatuous upon consideration. However, the analogy is not completely inapt, and, it has the merit of being a trope of at the very least, stout enough material as to be mostly opaque and far from transparent, which is the point after all.  I'm hoping Mr. Rustle isn't totally unnerved and emotionally damaged by your rather judgemental and abrupt dismissal of his comment. In these sensitive times, your seeming disrespect for Mr. Rustle's honest commentary might be construed, as a species of verbal abuse and dismissive bullying.
