Do you think this is clever? For a metaphor to be relevant to a discussion it has to be fitting, not just a dunk.

It’s not a metaphor. I was giving a counterexample to your implied claim that popularity is an indicator of quality.
That wasn't an implied claim because we're not discussing metrics for judging quality.
You're right. It's everyone's least-favorite gotcha. Reminds me of this:
Waiter: "How is everything?"
Customer: "Great!"
Waiter, disgusted: "Even war?"
