dewinthemorning | Efilist/Inmendham- Opinions and Analogies @dewinthemorning | Uploaded August 2013 | Updated October 2024, 7 minutes ago.
Anything that anyone says is an opinion. There are two types of opinion: opinions of taste and opinions of fact. We can check whether opinions of fact are correct.
Analogies are not arguments. 1/ In any two things you compare there may be an aspect that is similar, but there are many other aspects that are very different. 2/ When you tell an audience an analogy between two things, your audience is already acquainted with those two things you compare, so you are not telling them anything new.

The book I mention is "Learning to Philosophize" by E.R. Emmet.
