  You used the slavery reference for a reason - because you consider those two things to be in the same ballpark. There are millions of other references you could have chosen. So yes, my use of the term “compare” was accurate.

    No I didn't, I used it because I was looking for another bad thing for my analogy and slavery was the first bad thing which came into my mind this time. There are always millions of other and better references one could take for an analogy. But let's look at one of the examples on the wikidiff: > "hardware is to software as a television set is to the shows that appear on it" Would you say that in this analogy the author compares "hardware" to "a television" and "software" to "shows that appear on a television"?

      I know what an analogy is. I also know that you chose the slavery reference specifically because you wanted to equate - or compare, if you like - the two things.

        I just told you that I didn't chose it to compare but to insert into my analogy, you still keep comming back with telling me that you know what I wanted to do. I'm not sure how to respond to that.
