That's what it -means- for something to be a false dichotomy.
Generally people disagree on a dichotomy when the dichotomy is contrasting two things that *aren't* in actual contrast, hence the false comparison. Euthyphro's Dilemma doesn't run into this problem because the logic is sound - is X because Y, or is Y because X? It's mutually exclusive.
