The gerbil isn't meant to be seen as lesser than the hamster (no p in hamster) but different and anyone in their right mind who know their rodents know, you don't mix hamsters and gerbils together. And that doesn't mean I think the people of mlukfc are rodents either, it's an analogy. I could have used rabbits, a hutch and a dog in my analogy and say that they don't mix, but I didn't, I used hamsters and a gerbil.
