It isn't a false analogy - you just haven't grasped it! Anyway, here's a better one. You need a steamhammer for your work which involves driving enormous piles into the ground. You also occasionally need to tap a tack into a piece of wood. You complain because the steam piledriver is no good at tapping little tacks into wood.
