An example of analogy in writing about science:
"…the experimentalist does not accept the Cartesian philosophy, which is to say he [or she] treats his [or her] apparatus not as a mathematical structure but as a perceivable object. Even as there are said to be 'no atheists in the trenches', so indeed there are no bifurcationists in the laboratory."
