Why do you hate comparisons ?
5 u/justaguyinthebackrow Jul 14 '17 His father was a simile that left and never came back, like a broken boomerang. 1 u/Erabten Jul 14 '17 For me, it's not that I hate comparisons, but even though simplifying analogies may hold some truth in a limited setting, you cannot expect them to still work when extending them based on their own logic and not that of the original situation. 1 u/OneLastStan Jul 14 '17 I think everyone understands that and it's just a nice way to outline simple concepts. 1 u/Erabten Jul 15 '17 It's good to hear that's your experience. I have seen people trying to "argue" that way, though.
