A note from Daniel

In sum, the art of analogy is the art of cultivating and communicating ideas-revealing fresh connections and relationships between things that are not only useful and make intuitive sense, but also bear up under honest scrutiny. Because while all analogies obscure complexity and some reveal simplicity, only the very best approach truth. The perfect analogy makes things as simple as possible, but no simpler.
