An example of metaphor in science writing:
"Scientific explanation…is performed in the bosom of theories."
Mario Bunge
"…every deduction is made in some context and that the peculiarity of scientific deduction is that it takes place in the bosom of scientific theories, whether adult or not. Ordinary explanation, by contrast, is made in the body of ordinary knowledge, which is a rather poor and incoherent mosaic."
Bunge, M. (2017/1998). Philosophy of Science. Volume 2: From explanation to justification (Revised ed.). Routledge.
