I have this problem with most analogies used to explain things. Computer concepts are abstract enough without layering another abstraction on top. If you're trying to explain something complicated, you're just adding more cognitive overload. If you're trying to explain something simple, why not be direct? It's possible that I just run into nothing but bad analogies, but I don't see them as being helpful.
