Nah, did you really think that through? Your daily work with a computer would 
look rather different - probably much harder - if it weren't for some computer 
scientists coming up with the desktop metaphor.

But I agree about metaphysics. The ontology of a metaphysics shouldn't be 
defined as "looking like" something else, it must be very precisely defined 
otherwise it breaks down once you start using it.
