      Argument by analogy is surrender.

      Einstein, the Supreme Court, law, science, philosophy, ethics, all disagree with you. an analogy can be about logic or consistency. if an analogy makes u uncomfortable, yet you can't say why, perhaps it's because it shows you aren't being consistent or you aren't being logical.

      Einstein used analogies to describe things, such as a bowling ball on a mattress to describe gravity as bent space. He didn't use them to win debates. They don't work that way.

      Einstein wasn't famous for debating, so we don't know what he did in debates. we do know that science papers are intended to prove things (i.e. these axioms imply this theorem) or to disprove things (i.e. this theorem has a flaw), which is also the purpose of debates.

      A mathematician, for example, might use analogy to aid understanding and to suggest guesses as to the truth. But proof is still required to verify a conjecture.

      The examples are of irrationality. If something shares a few qualities it must share others is pure nonsense.

      if I find an analogy, & u are unable to find a flaw in it , then it stands just like a logical proof stands until/unless u can find a flaw in it. also, what I did was extrapolate/induce more than analogy. if something is legal for Trump, it should've been legal for Obama also.

      If the analogy has no flaw, it is called "the same thing."

      by ur logic, if Obama used US aid to extract an investigation into Trump, then the only precedent set would have been that of extracting investigations into Trump himself, and not of political rivals in general! do u think that's what a precedent is?

      I don't argue analogies because they are not part of reason.

          what u call "analogy" is sometimes just abstraction. it's why, if a court sentences you to a certain amount of time for stealing a muffin, they should sentence me to a similar amount of time for stealing a cookie, unless there is some major difference in context (i.e. priors).
