I understood that perfectly. No, you are not “building a metaphor”, as you put it. What you are doing is building an argument with metaphor. And I explained in great detail, with quotes, how yes you are absolutely 100% building an argument with metaphor. What this current reply still fails to do, is address any of the points I laid out in a numbered list, or respond the points I was making about the OP’s article that you didn’t bother to read.

I've explicitly and repeatedly told you that I am not building any metaphor. You continue to ignore what is being said to you in order to keep building your straw man.
