    Twitter Debate Rule: Declare victory when your debate opponent retreats to an absurd analogy as the only remaining defense. Analogies are great for explaining a new concept. But when used as an argument, they are little more than changing the subject.

        attack the person not the idea/argument. they may feel they win but they didn't even start if that's the way they chose to go.

        Analogies only work for non adversarial use cases

        What analogy beat you in an argument in order to inspire this tweet?

        Some arguments using analogy are fallacious but not all of them. I lose more respect for this man the longer I read what he writes. I used to quote him. I would argue that your point is a lot like hitting a nail right on the head. For the dense: no physical nails were hit here

        no they are expanding and deepening the understanding, analogies are an EXAMPLE, a furthering of one's point of view
