Hi @tyler808, I think an analogy would require her to set up a similar scenario to show why his reasoning was flawed. For example, she could have compared his reasoning to some other example of public and private, like your own car and a bus. However, Eileen responds by directly showing the difference between the two things in bob's arguments rather than by using a different subject matter.
