[It is probably more illuminating to] go a little further back, to the Middle Ages. One of its characteristics was that "reasoning by analogy" was rampant; another characteristic was almost total intellectual stagnation, and we now see why the two go together. A reason for mentioning this is to point out that, by developing a keen ear for unwarranted analogies, one can detect a lot of medieval thinking today.

Skatijos 'Kas Notiek Latvijā', un pamaniju, cik daudz analogiju bija atbildees - tiesham. It's rather like going to the doctor's and... only to come out and see everyone hunting with bows and arrows... labi, viss.
jā. es gan ierakstīju šo pirms pats skatījos KNL, bet analoģijas ir iemīļots līdzeklis politiķiem īpaši.
