Categories: Comparisons
An example of an analogy in writing about science:
"First, observation by itself poses the problem of building theories and it tests them, but theories are not 'abstracted' or 'inferred' from observation reports – if only because these, the bits of evidence, may not refer to the same things as the theories do, just as a glance may suggest love without being love."
