An example of an analogy (and a non-analogy) to explain a scientifc idea:
"An adherent of the theory of abstraction or induction might call our layers [of the conceptual system] 'degrees of abstraction': but I do not consider it justifiable to veil the logical independence of the concept from the sense experiences. The relation is not analogous to that of soup to beef but rather of check number to overcoat."
