Yes it's a fair comparison but it's also a terrible comparison, since the shuttle was crippled in that area due to other requirements tackled onto it.

If you're talking about the one aiming to be best in the field to describe how good it is performing, you usually don't compare it to the broken clock of the group.

It's a fair comparison if the real product of the space shuttle program is compared with the real product of the Falcon Heavy program.

Comparing what the space shuttle could hypothetically have been with what Falcon Heavy actually is would not be a fair comparison.

Again please read my message again, I didn't say the comparison was unfair, I said it was fair but terrible and not providing any value.
