It is a comparison, because it has the same reason.

Comparisons are valid, even if they play close to the other person.

Ad hominem is just attacking a person without any valid arguments.

    Now define simile without using the word 'comparison', since you believe a simile isn't a comparison

    It's when one thing is likened to another thing, so as to transfer attitudes or understanding from the second thing to the first thing.
