| Quote (Assassinator @ Feb. 20 2008,17:03) | | Daniel, why do you value analogies like that to make certain things more clear so much? Those things aren't the real world, programming and IT isn't the same as the inner-workings of a cell, not even clóse. |
The question is not "why do I value these analogies?", but rather "why do these analogies work?".
Also, how is it that these analogies (in your words) "make certain things more clear" if they're (also in your words) "not even clóse"?
