We are indeed straining the limits of analogy…but since that’s my favorite pastime:
Suppose we already have perfectly good ways of building homes, but then people discover straw
and they claim straw will make homes cheaper
and also drive cars and make movies and cure bunions
and VCs pump gazillions into any startup who’s using straw for any damnfool thing
and people think straw will let us live outside our bodies and be immortal or whatever
