    Yeah, I don’t think they realize what a bad analogy this is. Hell I’d argue it’s straight up faulty analogy fallacy. Computers are designed to be useable by humans and programmers want users to know the fix to the problem. We’ve had to reverse engineer how the human body works but the computer and software is man made. The problem isn’t your hemocrit is 7.3 it’s your credit card expired, this program is in an unusable state please close it and reopen it, your computer needs to update please restart it, the program can’t get new messages because the computer isn’t connected to the internet.
