Next time you hear that you should know to just end the coversation period.

Apples and Oranges has always been the cop out of someone who has no ability to engage in a paticular argument. It's like listening to someone give a Nazi reference, throwing the race card, or saying "you just hate". Even if they are right it doesn't matter because they would never be able to explain why they are right.

Sounds like you hear that phrase a lot.

I could understand that based on some of the reasoning you use in your post.

That doesn't make any sense... it's apples v. oranges.

OMG engineers are such a pain in the ass....The apples to oranges comparison makes complete sense visually and if you are trying to break it down kindergarden style to someone...Now this is the real conundrum
