      I think the other way around would have been better.

      Boxing gloves to a samurai duel.

      Unless the point was to show SOLID principals as superior?

      I think “overkill” is the word that summarizes analogy.

      In my langauge there is a proverb: “to shoot sparrow with a cannon”.

      Killing opponent with katana in boxing match is not a victory by boxing rules. You have to fight barehanded.
