Thought this one is interesting. So the assumption is that one thinks they are analogous when they are not.
Will all arguments of analogy weaken correct answer basically be one that tells you how they are not the same? I thought the weakening would be in the argument itself? Or I am just extremely confused.

    well yeah, that is what argument of analogy is. Party A is saying their conclusion based on an analogy but if its not analogous well then their argument doesnt matter, because the support (analogy) is unrelated to the situation being argued for/against

    unless I misunderstood you lol
