Given that banking principles have a foundation in economic
theory, and that Tom's analogies attempted to relate this
stuff to IP address management, I would say that your
statement above is clearly wrong.

Yes, we know that. An analogy is an analogy, a metaphor is a metaphor
and so on. Why are you telling us these basics of English Lit 101?
