peer agreement (net): +1共同点，可比性 Explanation: I translate into 共同点，可比性, because at the beginning, they have this sentence "that requires that you're talking about the same thing." the same thing inply they need something in common and can compare.So they use "dollar", as inplied later "turn them into a dollar cost or dollar benefit" |

但是保证论题的同质可比性至关重要。 Explanation: homogeneity: the quality of being alike. I think the author tries to say that if you want to compare something, the measurement you choose must be alike in quality. So I extend the translation to include “可比性“。 |

you need to compare 'apples' with 'apples', not 'apples' with 'oranges' Explanation: you need to compare 'apples' with 'apples', not 'apples' with 'oranges'(for the comparisons to be valid) (that's something our lecturers at university used to say...I guess it's what it means here) In other words, you have to convert everything to the same units (eg dollars) to make a valid comparison. |
