Mixing the metaphors
Kevin points out just how wildly wrong are Susan Cheevers‘ metaphors when she describes how “intellectual property” works on the Internet. Kevin substitutes his own far more accurate metaphorical description.
Our moral reasoning always (?) moves by metaphors, but metaphors are never perfectly accurate (or, if they are, they’re uninteresting), so our moral reasoning never is utterly persuasive. Still, metaphors are all we have, and Kevin’s are MUCH better than Cheevers’.
