There’s nothing in the analogy which says no tests were run. You have to be arguing in really bad faith to come up with that one.

Well then it's a flawed analogy. There is no credible basis to say the planet is "dying" in same exigent sense you convey with this analogy. It's particularly bad faith to compare the lifespan of a Human with the imputed lifespan of Earth.
Analogies are never perfect, they are a tool to explain an idea by way of drawing similarities. They are not meant to overlap perfectly, that would be a tautology.
It’s not realistic to think one’s family could simply sue an insurance company or of existence. It’s pretty obvious to anyone engaging in good faith that the example is making a point for humans, not attempting to be taken literally by obtuse robots.
