That’s what sophistry means: analogy as a pretense of knowledge to mask ignorance of the underlying model of constant relations. In the history of human thought,every time we assumed woo woo,we were just ignorant and wrong because the scale of causes were larger than we observed.

If I can explain quantum woo woo with three variations on one mental model, then we have to ask, why everyone tries to use woo woo math.There is nothing woo woo about the subatomic world unless you start with woo woo concepts to describe it.Mathiness w/o mental model = sophistry.
