I personally despise analogues. They are always leaky and people pick weak or emotional ones. Anything which can be explained with an analogy can be explained without it.
- emilfihlman 2y agoYeah, and I somewhat agree with you. The problem is that for tacking double standards an analogue is kind of required, and analogues are good for trying to explain to a person who doesn't understand the matter but understands or is familair with another matter which can serve as an analogue.
