Reply #18: The kitchen knife

[trotsky]

Your analogy might be a little more valid if the maker of the knife had also only released instructions for using it 2000 years ago, to a very primitive people, who had since copied, recopied, translated, and re-translated it a hundred times before being packaged with a modern knife. (On edit): Including adding sections that explain when killing someone with the knife is necessary!

Oh, and if the knife manufacturer had also produced the knife-wielder and his brain, which is capable of being altered by chemicals, injury, and disease to produce raw aggression capable of motivating one to harm someone else.

Then you might have a pretty accurate analogy. Of course, that means your analogy wouldn't be making your point.
