The problem with the analogy is that it does not reflect what the real problem of mankind is.
We are born to die - Indeed we are born dead, as the Psalmist records in Ps 50/51:
"In sins did my mother bear me..."
This is our inheritance from Adam - Death...
Affirmed by Paul: 1Cor 2:9
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him."
We are born separated by death from God...
At best, it gives the lopsided idea that people are only victims,
rather than perpetrators.
Because death entered into the world through Adam's sin, and therefrom passed through into all those born in Adam, all have sinned... Sin is the wounding of death upon fallen man... The recovery of man from the wounds of sin through the deception of the evil one is what repentance is all about, and when a man is left for dead on the road of life by the demons who deceived him unto death, THEN Christ picks him up and treats his wounds, and takes him to the Church for the rest of his recovery...
He did this with Paul, whom Christ sent to Ananias to receive both his sight and the Holy Spirit...
So we are both perpetrators and victims, and the perpetrators are the most wounded of the victims...
Repent and be baptized is directed, not at victims, but perpetrators.
It is directed both to the Pharisees and the Publicans...
Less so to the Publican, who was the less wounded in the Parable...
