If you weren't trying to persuade people to support the OTW, then why did you say in your comment above blade_girl: "I want people to support the OTW. However, I want them to do so honestly... " That says to me that you were trying to make a persuasive argument.
Furthermore, your OP does not at all suggest that it wasn't a persuasive argument, nor do I see any indication that it was supposed to be anything but a persuasive argument for the OTW.
So either you haven't been very clear about your intentions, or you just backed off on the purpose.
I'll take your word for it that you're seeking feedback.
But let me state and echo what others have said clearly: It's a damn poor comparison, it detracts from your point, and will convince exactly no one that OTW is worth a damn.
