But Peter is not making a comparison between the merits of certain books; his statement is that some people distort both. One can say that the comparison implied in "also the rest of" is not intentional. If I say "first-graders do not understand Shakespeare as they also don't understand chemistry" I assert no equivalence between Shakespeare and chemistry.

A more accurate comparison is that people distort Paul's writings just like they distort the REST of the scriptures. It's not just a comparison. Peter specifically equates it to other scriptures. It's more like people distort the Book of James just as they distort the Book of Job.
