Metaphors are beautiful... the ultimate way of explaining things by leveraging what you already know/represent. A is to B as X is to Y saves a lot of explanation and I think in neural terms makes for a very efficient form of learning in that A only needs to be associated with X (and B with Y) and the rest - the relationships - already exist. Kind of similar to leveraging the power of musical memory in poetry by making it rhyme... latching memories onto others.
