  For those folks using analogy, let me throw in John
Campbell's definition, paraphrased:

  For two partially comparable sets A and B , if item[i] in the two
sets is comparable, then  if a[i] is true b[i] is true.
  This basically says, an analogy holds if all the comparable
items in A imply the same items in B.  Alas, I can't do
venn diagrams in email (:-))
