About as relevant as saying that your comparison is apples to oranges while still agreeing with your underlying point.
Also yes. I would hope people that want to engage in a real conversation would read past the first sentence.
Btw reaching for the ad hominem argument is quite petty imo.
I said:
Neither of them [the suggestions] are helpful
It isn’t
To be fair that’s not an good comparison. This comparison would be proper if someone was asking:

The proper one would be:
Hey my Ford stopped working, can you help? Have you tried using arch linux a BMW instead?
Neither of them are helpful, but I think it works better.
