It's called "normalization." It is frequently used to standardize a metric in relation to other factors. For example: "Larger tires have lower rolling resistance
at the same pressure as smaller tires."
The "at the same pressure" is the normalization part that puts CRR on the same terms. Though that part is frequently left out in the game of telephone we call Bike Forums.
It's ok to say "No." I sure as heck, wouldn't. That's ok & does not make you a bad person, or anything at all actually. Taking issue with the question, the questioner, & deflection actually says a lot, though.
