    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
