Ah, but they all fail, mostly because initially they have gathered wrong
items of comparison. Is a false isomorphism an example of cosmetic
surgery of the truth? How small were those tits to begin with?

And why the hell use 'isomorphism' a truly gruesome piece of jargonistic
crap, rather than the damn simple and readily understood 'analogy' or
'metaphor' or even 'simile'?

I'm sorry, but this useless jargon crap really gets my goat. We need to
be more like country music around here, not Harry Partch.
