[QUOTE="Targ, post: 56783363, member: 268461"] Which is as close as we are going to get to an admission that your analogy is wrong, and that you know it. Let's go along with this anyway though and see whether your claim is true (I'm doing this more for the benefit of [B]Sara[/B] (ooh, bold) and other newbies; everyone else need not read as you've heard it a thousand times before). [LIST] [*]In the case of the text, each new word represents a new generation, i.e. the offspring of the previous word. By contrast, the fan never reproduces in Greg's analogy. It is the same fan after each variation. His analogy is better at describing somebody growing old than it is of evolution. [*]In the case of the text, it has genetic code (the font code) and in each generation the code is slightly different e.g. #d02003 changing to #d02004. This matches evolution as it represents the variation in DNA from one generation to the next. In the fan analogy, there is no genetic code described that is subject to modification through reproduction. [*]Variations in the font code lead to the text having different physical attributes (i.e. a different colour). By contrast, the change in speed of the fan never results in a change in physical attributes. The fan always remains a fan and never gains new features, or a stronger blade, or more efficient energy source or whatever. [/LIST] The text analogy is not perfect, but it is orders of magnitude better than anything that Greg has ever come up with. [/QUOTE]
