    Bro. Analogies don’t need to be 100% realistic.

    How many analogies have you read involving fictional characters? Or saying stuff like “that’s a catch-22”? Do you say “actually, that phrase comes from a work of fiction, so it’s invalid”?

    “It’s like when Homer can’t stop eating donuts” - “Oh but Homer doesn’t exist. Checkmate!”

    An ant carrying a leave is like a dude carrying three cars on his back. “Whoa! It’s impossible for a dude to carry that much weight!”
