There is something about an argument made almost entirely out of metaphors that amuses me to the point of not being able to take it seriously, even if I actually agree with it.

As much as I dislike metaphors, this sounded reasonable to me. Just don't go poking holes in the metaphor instead of the real argument.

Indeed, poking holes in the metaphor is like putting a pin in a balloon, rather than knocking it out of the park by addressing the real argument.
