      Two possibilities:

      • You don’t understand the use of analogies. Common enough. Many people can get lost in them. Not a big deal. Not your fault.
      • You do understand them, but were actively trying to focus on the ways the chosen analogies were not one to one with the object instead of on the point the analogies were only used to illustrate. This falls under the category of bad-faith communication.

      I assumed you were well-meaning in assuming your ignorance. Was I wrong?
