@John Deal, the movie series is actually a trilogy.
I suppose it would be viewed as impossibly pedantic to point out that “measure against” (79D) is not to “compare to” but compare *with*. Saying something is comparable “to” something else is to remark on the items’ similarity.
@lucky13, communication is more effective when meanings don’t vary from person to person. That’s why American Heritage Dictionary provides usage notes for words such as “compare”: <a href="https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=Compare" target="_blank">https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=Compare</a>
