      Analogies are not reason. They are just a case of one thing reminding you of another.

      What are you talking about? Arguing that two objects belong to the same class is fundamental to reasoning about the real world.

      Literally the entire legal profession is how the case at issue analogizes to other, older cases. Ever single appeals case is won through analogy.

      There’s binding authority (same jurisdiction) and persuasive authority (other jurisdictions). Every case is decided by how the current case analogizes to how a previous case was decided. That’s the system. Not sure what you’re describing.

      And the original question is “have you ever seen an argument won by analogy”. You can change the question, but the answer to that one is “all the time in court. Almost every time.”

      That's a fair point that analogies (precedent) win in court. But you wouldn't want that system outside of that realm, as it is not exclusively logic-driven. The law cares more about credibility, stability, predictability. Logic can be optional in law.

          As I've pointed out a number of times, nothing applied to the real world is "exclusively logic-driven." You have to map from the real world to the elements of logic formalism and back. Involves an assertion about the equality (or similarity) of elements of logic and real world.

          I think you're drawing dichotomies that don't really exist. If the question is "Ever see an argument won with an analogy?" then the answer is "Every weekday I'm in court". I don't agree that you can win with an "illogical analogy". That sounds inherently unstable. Big fan btw.

          It’s a fallacy to says precedent are analogies. Precedent in court rely on laws defining rules in a context that guarantees all related court case to have to follow similar decision. Analogies are made entirely post facts /wo any mechanic to put bias in check.

          So no, court arguments aren’t won on analogy, they’re made on precedents in the context of pre existing laws. Analogies in cout would be comparing that white collar tax fraud to that bank heist. Something they never do (I know bc I am frustrated they don’t)
