Because it's about people's mental models. When you use an analogy ("like a digital computer") to examine another phenomena than of course people will interpret that in terms they are familiar with.
Otherwise what's the point in using an analogy?
- naasking 8y agoThe point of an analogy is to make a phenomenon understandable by showing a formal correspondence to phenomenon that is already understood. I've just spent 3 posts explaining that this analogy fails on multiple levels, so the argument by analogy is invalid.
