...the subtle difference between an analogy and a comparison.

Key word - "subtle".

I'm more inclined to think you wrongly assumed I was deliberately making a direct comparison

Nope. It's obviously not a direct comparison, we both agree on that. So based on that, you should understand why it's a bad analogy. It's more in fitting with your tendency to use language to exaggerate your point.

Key word - "subtle".

Other key word - "difference". It's the combination of "subtle" and "difference" that highlights the distinction is nuanced but real.

Nope. It's obviously not a direct comparison, we both agree on that.

But you argued it was a poor comparison, not a poor analogy.

So based on that, you should understand why it's a bad analogy.

I understand why you want to argue it's a bad analogy. However, it's a perfectly valid one, just as the marble analogy is.

It's more in fitting with your tendency to use language to exaggerate your point.

If this is really a tendency of mine, perhaps you can provide some more examples to support your contention?
