Analogies are a tool used to describe a situation by relating to something more familiar: are premature babies really something all of you "dissenting" voices have experienced? Analogies can trigger all sorts of responses (intellectual and emotional).

Whether you care about the responses of your audience is your choice. I am not disagreeing that my feelings are my own (though they are not a "problem" for me), but I am sharing them for the benefit of those who might care. If you don't, that's "your problem".
