Right.  It's an analogy and like all analogy is imperfect.  The part that's 
relevant is claiming a meeting of the minds is impossible without any serious 
effort to try (that's my assessment of the public discussion on the topic).

Also imperfect, but perhaps less orthogonal might be the analogy of the kid 
that shows up at the playground with a cool new toy and stomps off and goes 
home when the other kids won't play with the toy precisely according to his 
rules.
