I don’t understand the appeal.

Didn’t Spiffeh say he dislikes puns in titles?
Paragone is not a pun. It's wordplay.

There is a difference.

I don't think that's a pun, it's just willful mutilation of the language.

when you don't get any nths for a suggestion, you can typically take that as a hint that maybe it wasn't hitting the right notes.

on a relatedly candid note, paragone was honestly kind of a joke nom.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
