          It’s a very poor analogy.

          I suppose it works better like so:

          Imagine…

          You’re in line at McDonald’s talking to a buddy about how Burger King has better quality, is free, and that you’ll not be returning to McDonald’s in July because their burgers are going to cost $0.24 per microgram, and the owner is a clown.

          Someone unaffiliated with McDonald’s who is also standing in hears your comment and starts shouting for you to “GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE!”

          … not because they don’t like Burger King.
          … not because they have never tried Burger King.

          But because they closely identify with McDonald’s, and the clown that represents it.

          Hope that’s clear. Heh
