Huh? They're fruit. So what? Just because you don't have a good answer to the question doesn't make it 'apples and oranges'. We're talking, EXPLICITLY, about VICE. I ask a question about VICE. Come on...

Not in this case. The justification for Bennett's gambling is that he isn't causing harm to others. This same justification can be used for other vices that he rails against. Same argument, different vices.
