Here's a better analogy.
A traveling salesman who drives thousands of miles for business can write off depreciation of his car as a business expense tax deduction for income tax law purposes.
A fisherman then sues and is legally allowed to write off depreciation on his boat as a business expense tax deduction for income tax law purposes.
That ruling doesn't make a boat be a car, it just makes the boat be equivalent for this particular narrow legal purpose.
