[QUOTE="Key, post: 55963300, member: 32065"] The use of an analogy is to be able to discuss a complex topic in terms that can be understood by both parties, ergo. As the discussion extends or changes the use of the analogy is equally applied to those changes, thus, an analogy is not fixed or all encompassing at it's inception, but a mutable medium for exchange to follow ideas as they get presented. Such is the very nature of discussing things though analogy, there is nothing underhanded about extending the analogy to cover new information as it arises. Also, no analogy is prefect, again, this is part of what an analogy is to begin with thus any attempt to dissect the analogy as being not perfectly accurate is pointless, as if we could discuss the exacting nature of the subject mater, an analogy would not be needed at the onset. Just wanted to clear that up for you. God Bless [/QUOTE]
