I don't have a real problem with analogy or metaphor, and that wasn't the point of what I wrote. My issue is with famous people holding forth on areas they're clearly quite ignorant of. I'm trying very hard not to name names to keep my message clear.

It’s almost as if you maybe just don’t know why they talk that way, rather than the extent of their knowledge and skills?
