Oh dear - I stumbled upon
[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy - one of my favorite
topics. I never actually read the Wikipedia page on analogy even
though I love analogy and metaphor. Considering that many
physical systems are nearly perfect (but not quite) analogues of
each other, if you learn one, you've learned the 'gist' of all
of them.... and the same is true for analogies in general. Good
analogies can unlock doors (there's an analogy/metaphor) to MANY
different ideas. Oh dear... I gotta be careful or I'll be
clicking off from that page and coming back to it all day long
if I could smile emoticon
