It is interesting to read that when we use comparisons we are reasoning by analogy. In life we constantly compare things. That girls dress is cuter than that other girls. That boy has a cuter smile than the other. I think it is human nature to think that way. Until I read this section, I never thought of that as reasoning by analogy.
Then to read that comparisons and conclusions are used in law was kind of amazing. We think that law is spelled out in complete detail but to read that lawyers use this form of reasoning all the time to make their point makes we wonder how clear and straight forward the courts and judicial system really are? Do the laws really mean something or is it that the person that can make use of the best comparisons and analogies forms the direction the laws should go?
