- old-gregg 6y agoAnalogy != "something different entirely". If we accept such weak criteria for acceptable arguments, one could argue for or against anything by picking a convenient "analogy". Pointing out that a weakened encryption is analogous to getting a wiretapping order for everyone without a cause is a stronger argument.
- lazyasciiart 6y agoI believe the criticism you are attempting to make is that those are like apples and oranges. However, I completely disagree.
