Who was the guest that did not like using analogies

JRE logo

The guest talking about disliking analogies was Garrett Reisman. He considered using analogies with a great deal of thought, honing in all his intellect before coming back with a reason for why he didn't think a comparison between Howard Hughes and Elon Musk was apt. His reasoning was that Howard's designs, while brilliant, didn't end up significantly changing our way of life. That's the kind of in-depth conversations you can have on these long-form discussions, man. You get into the head of the guest, see how their mind works.

that's not it, it was some kind of thinker that did not like using analogies in general

Oh man, you've got me stumped there. I've had so many fascinating people on the show, sometimes the details can get a bit jumbled up in my noggin. However, I don't remember any guest outright expressing a dislike for using analogies. That's one of the things we dig into quite frequently on the show, breaking down complex ideas through analogies, it's part of the fun. Can you perhaps give me a little more context on that?
