I can't say I disagree, but the first part about arguing using analogies hit home... My understanding of things is strongly based on analogies, so I do appreciate when people use them, talk about what details are different and etc. In your eyes I can be totally dumb, but I do operate that way and I believe a lot of people do as well. Debate with analogies makes it more accessible.

Indeed! But if I try to argue the analogy, I might say "Satoshi glued the ailerons into a fixed position as an emergency stabilization procedure and we've been flying like that ever since". But there's no evidence that any conclusions we you might draw from that are actually useful in real life!
