Wow. Nice comment...
> This is akin to answering "how do I bake a cake?" with "open up a bakery, walk inside, and ask for a cake"
Only it's more like answering "how much does this cake cost" by purchasing the cake and looking at the receipt.
Nerds love terrible analogies for some reason, yours is much better.
An analogy is a high-level abstraction of one domain, projected onto a different domain. Of course nerds love them.
Or should I say... analogies are like Uber, but for metaphors. No. I should stop before writing that.
