rule 7: never use an analogy - it will always be wrong, particularly in tech articles; instead of saying X is a bit like Y (which it never is), explain X proper

rule 7: never use an analogy - it will always be wrong, particularly in tech articles; instead of saying X is a bit like Y (which it never is), explain X properly. if you can't do that, don't write about X.
analogies drive me mad. i don't mind metaphor so much.
