It’s different, because it’s not the same thing. I’m not defending either side here, just saying.. let’s keep the rhetoric out of the debate.

I'm not sure what you're calling "rhetoric", and I'm not defending either side either. The point of an analogy isn't to give an identical situation, it's to draw a parallel. So far as I can see, it's the flip side of the same issue. I'm not seeing anyone make a compelling case (or really, any case) to the contrary.

It's not a flaw in communication which one should try and avoid; rather, it's a very useful set of skills to develop. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/rhetorical_situation/index.html https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/...
