    @Horace said in Why Analogy Is Better:

    Analog vs digital is an interesting distinction. Digital in principle can reproduce all analogue things, since, as far as we understand classical Einsteinian mechanics, reality is digital, at a very, very fine level. When we say analog is different than digital, we mean our technology to present "analog" information to human observers, presents different levels of fidelity than our present technology for digital to present similar information.

    Can you give me an analogy to illustrate that point?

    Analog is like a continuous painting with every shade and nuance, while digital is like a mosaic made up of tiny, distinct tiles that together form a complete picture. Both have their unique qualities and uses!

    I was only joking

      Those fuckers totally ruined my car. The faster I go, the heavier the bloody thing gets.

        Analogous to all that, litotes are no worse as any other literary device to express the comparative of quality.

            True, but you live longer.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Keep it under 0.5c and you won’t notice much at all.
