Life is like a box of terrible analogies. - Oscar Wilde

This analogy is quite interesting. Each element and connector are actually equivalents of circuit loops that are spliced together when you are connecting them. So a spinotronics diode works more like a loop of "diode wire" out of which you can make multiple diodes by splicing other connectors and elements into it. That's why you can make FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER with just two spinotronic "diodes".

  Electrons are described as fluids when there is superconductivity. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity : > Unlike an ordinary metallic conductor, whose resistance decreases gradually as its temperature is lowered even down to near absolute zero, a superconductor has a characteristic critical temperature below which the resistance drops abruptly to zero. [1][2] An electric current through a loop of superconducting wire can persist indefinitely with no power source. FWIU, an electric current pattern described as EM hertz waves (e.g. as sinusoids) is practically persisted at Lagrangian points and in nonterminal, non-intersecting Lorentz curve paths at least? IRL electronic components waste energy as heat like steaming, over-pressurized water towers. And erasing bits releases heat instead of dropping the 1 onto the negative or ground "return path" I agree that Spintronics is a great game for mechanical circuits, which are in certain sufficient ways like electronic circuits, which can't persist qubits for any reasonable unit of time.

Terrible analogies are superior to great ones. I can shout great analogies at my team all day long and they will just roll their eyes But the moment I toss one out there that's terrible, they give me a dozen better ones back, and I win because I got them to swallow thing I was sugarcoating with analogy

  So you are saying it is as if cat herding potentially exists to create a binary appreciation fallacy for set-theoretical classification of analogies? Mind blown.
