Ron, I'm not going to get caught it in a petty, nit-picking argument with you about whether my analogy works or not. Any analogy is only a general comparison for purposes of illustration, and if someone has a mind to, he can start finding fault with it and lose the thread of the discussion.

P. S. By the way, I have read both of the books you mentioned above.
