A word or phrase to say:- its redundant to compare the two subjects

1. I am trying to make a person understand a theory. I do so by at
   first, describing in lengthy depth the game of "peek-a-boo" and how
   babies have no concept of the real world.
2. I then would like to bring the person back to how the person and I
   are OBVIOUSLY far more intellectual than a baby so why would i even
   compare us to a baby?

[imagine a long in-depth science text about babies and the game of peek-a-boo]

In conclusion. They genuinely believe the mother has left the physical plane of being. Thats why peek-a-boo game is so effective with babies.

A word or phrase to say:- its redundant to compare the two subjects

Now obviously its redundant for an adult to be compared to a newborn baby

OR

A needless endeavor to you and I, however, this fact is the fundamental understanding to this theory

OR

It might seem barren to to look at a newborn baby, in order to understand an abstract theory

TL;DR:-

a better way to say:-
"IT MIGHT SEEM POINTLESS TO COMPARE xyz TO 123" ##
