Scott,

An analogy is supposed to demonstrate core properties that match the 
situation.  Similarly:

entirely misses the point of what is currently happening.


The current exchange has had more of the flavor of:

    A:    How about X.
    B&C:  That's unacceptable, so do alternatives Y or Z.
    A:    Here are the reasons those alternatives don't match the
          current situation and here are the distinctive characteristics
          of the current situation.
    B&C:  Do Y or Z
    {rinse repeat}
    A:    OK, how about A.
    B&C:  Do Y or Z

After some iterations in this model, it become clear that the 
negotiation isn't a negotiation.

Until you and Stephen engage in discussing the substance of the 
responses you've been getting, there isn't a meaningful discussion 
happening.
