> You really should just delete your comment if you can't come up with a decent analogy

I think you're being unreasonable. False/untrue analogies still work as a rhetorical device and we can appreciate the point being made.

Pedantry has its place (peer-review of scientific papers, for example), HN comments is not one of them. This is how a community develops a reputation for being hostile.

(Now I'm going to feel horrible about myself for even letting myself be tempted to respond to a comment like this in the first place)
