Interesting point (arguments do frequently devolve into pointless meta-arguments), but I'd be surprised if you can totally avoid analogies. Analogies are extremely powerful. They're arguably all we have when it comes to reasoning.

Ironically, Segal's Law, which you seem to approve of, is itself an analogy. I don't think anyone here is really concerned with knowing what time it is or whether or not it's a good idea to wear two watches.
