Yeah, that's a cool extension to the conversation.
Analogies are ... just analogies. They are not reality. Taking them too
far - their "logical extreme" - always results in problems.
I do like the extension of the analogy in this article, but even then,
it eventually breaks down.
The fence, for example, protects us from line drives. :)
We strive to bring more people to the table, and make the table bigger,
and yet we have angry voices complaining that we'll run out of food. One
of these days, I need to write that "Open Source as pot-luck dinner"
blog post. The more people we bring to the table, the better dinner will be.
I am saddened by all of the anger and outrage that is generated by
wanting to have more friends come to dinner.
