An excellent analogy.  (HT: Ron Brinegar) But every analogy limps.  There is no such thing as a perfect analogy.  A perfect analogy would be an identity, and  one cannot (usefully) compare a thing to itself.  So, after enjoying Feynman's fine analogy, you should ask yourself what the points of disanalogy are.
