I fail to see how reading multiple essays on the nuances of "literal and figurative analogies" will convince me that the other guy was nitpicking.

Hi, welcome to HN!

I would encourage you to please take another look at the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Edit out swipes.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

While you may be used to making swipes such as "Are you ESL?" on other platforms, such behavior is really unwelcome here.
