Would you take a free mountain lift ride to the top if you happened to come across one during a climbing trip?

  would I read the summary of a book expecting the same thing as reading the book? no

    and if the person who offered you the lift was so obliging to stop at any view you find appealing along the way for how long you desire? somehow I still think it would be a "no" form you, because it's not really about the views

      there is a point where the analogy breaks. Yes, when it comes to irl mountains you could have a lift that stops along the way. And when it comes to irl books, there is no way to bypass the journey, so to speak. Also, just a note: it's usually not fun, nor interesting, to quibble and nitpick analogies, that's not what they're there for.
