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. :wink:

:lol: 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.
