Of course it is. Anthropomorphizing is in our nature, but it doesn’t mean we have to entertain it and extend it to everything. A poet can anthropomorphize clouds beautifully and I’d enjoy his poem, but I want my pilot to not see clouds as rabbits when they decide if it’s safe to fly through them.

The poster meant it "within the metaphors". Tables are said to have 'legs': that does not confuse carpenters.

Yup, that’s why it’s important to ground these arguments in reality.
