analogy: a form of reasoning in which one thing is inferred to be similar to another thing in a certain respect, on the basis of the known similarity between the things in other respects.

Tip for productive discussion: When it becomes necessary to explain the meaning of the analogy, it's time to abandon it.

By all means, unsubscribe! Just be aware that this has, in no way, "devolved into a camera discussion." It has, instead, become a discussion about the relative merits of supposed "features" which may (or may not) be included in the design of a given espresso machine.

Cameras have merely been employed as a means of analogous comparison.

Surely, Marshall, I would've expected you to recognize this...

Admittedly, at this stage the divergent discussion could be separated into its own thread.

Most machines have the word "Automatic" in them. Some are semi, some are super.

I find it interesting to see which features are included in each category.

I'll start another thread so we don't get too OT.
