It sounds like the original analogy is apt, and your followup analogy isn't.

I wasn't the one who compared this with the width of a car and then got confused what a shorter width would even mean.

But sure, if you say so.

Program identifiers use exact matches. The analogy works fine understanding this context.

It's possible to extend any analogy in a way that doesn't make sense, which is what you've done.

It seems like your complaint may be that you simply don't like, or perhaps don't understand, analogies in general.
