- catach 4y agoConsider that the analogy is intended to illustrate the mechanisms at play, and not the import.
- dymk 4y agoA bad analogy is a bad analogy. If you want to illustrate the mechanism at play, come up with an analogy that fits the situation.
- catach 4y agoI'd agree that it's an overall failed analogy because people here are being distracted by the intensity signal, but I still see it as a good analogy for the purposes of illustrating the mechanism.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoI’m sensitive to the distinction you’re making, I have had abusive partners. One of whom is a routine and often daily reminder of things I’d like to leave behind but haven’t yet been able to. I didn’t take the figurative way the other comment was phrased to mean literally that. Because you’re right, it’s not the same.
