- No misconceptions. All of my comparisons were relative to the burglary
- example, and all of the key terms e.g. "accuracy", "knowledge",
- "speediness", were obviously to be read in that context. You, with your
- meager medical credentials, thought you could just jump in and spout
- some half-facts, and that would "refute" my point. It failed to do so.
- You can go back to your slumber now.

- Then why did you jump, unprepared, into the discussion?

-
- Well, it wasn't _my_ analogy in the first place, I was merely demonstrating
- its lack of validity. As for "usefulness", I direct you to whoever cooked up
- the analogy...
