    Doesn’t make it right. Michael Jackson’s dad abused his kids and they became world famous artists, doesn’t mean abusing your kids is acceptable or should be seen as such.

          Except it’s not a distinction at all.

          analogy (n.) - a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

            Of course it is. A square is also a rectangle but it’s still an important distinction.
