An analogy doesnt work if it has thousands of flaws.

You can't stretch it until it breaks and then say "see? It broke, it wasn't perfect". It works for the purpose it was made, and that's all it needed to work for.
So the analogy is okay if it supports your argument but a counter analogy isn't okay if it doesn't support your argument, got it.
This 4D reading comprehension chess is too much for me, sorry.
