Question

Distinguish between good analogy and bad ​

Answer 1

Answer:

good analogy is a compromise between two conflicting goals: familiarity and representativeness. Good analogies are familiar. They express an abstract idea in terms of a familiar one.

Explanation:

This fallacy consists in assuming that because two things are alike in one or more respects, they are necessarily alike in some other respect. Examples: Medical Student: "No one objects to a physician looking up a difficult case in medical books.

Answer 2

Answer:

A good use of analogies is more than just a communication skill. It is a cognitive ability. It's interpreting something based on its relationships to other things. It is seeing an idea in context and explaining it to others in that context. An informal fallacy is a false analogy. It is true for inductive arguments. It is an informal fallacy because the error concerns the topic of the argument rather than the argument itself.

Explanation:

• A good analogy strikes a balance between two opposing goals: familiarity and representativeness. Good analogies are well-known. They use a familiar concept to express an abstract idea.
• A fallacy, also known as a false analogy, is an argument that is founded on misleading, superficial, or implausible comparisons. It is also referred to as a faulty analogy, a weak analogy, a faulty comparison, a metaphor as an argument, and an analogical fallacy. The term is derived from the Latin word fallacia, which means "deception, deception, trick, or artifice."

Thus this is the answer.
