I do reject your example - it does not fit the shape of the situation whatsoever.

You may as well have said "it's kinda like Goldilocks and the three bears." Yes, it is KINDA like that... insofar as both happen on the planet Earth. But drawing connections between them is nonsensical.

The line in the sand is that the quoted example is not a reasonable distinction, which you agreed with.

Please address the second paragraph, no analogy there.

That story is used allegorically all the time, rarely involving talking bears, so I'm not what you mean.
