One profitable use of analogy is to make the comparison more defined and stark by comparing the operant scenario to another that contains a more emotion or clear-cut choice. This removes or tempers the ambiguity or sanguinity of the operant scenario.
ie "I could never envision withdrawing support for a team over its present trajectory"
"No? Could you envision withdrawing support for an actor if he turns out to be a repugnant human being"
"Well, yeah"
"Well, picture that, only replace that level of disappointment in the actor with disappointment in the team."
