@VesselOfSpirit why would I say a metaphor if it didn't rephrase my opinion

@admittedlyhuman the word "just" is important here -
@admittedlyhuman metaphors allow you to import heuristics that let you reach correct conclusions in one domain to another domain -
@VesselOfSpirit there are two types of metaphors, metaphors in speech and metaphors in your head -
@VesselOfSpirit when you're speaking, you're explaining your opinion. you don't always do this by reconstructing the steps that led to it. -
@VesselOfSpirit it's possible this isn't responsive to your point. -
@admittedlyhuman that makes sense. it's just important not to confuse the two kinds of metaphors, then
