Drew hasn't been here in 10 days; he was gone a few days last time.
A light bulb just went off. We know something about the light bulb which we don't know about the universe. We know that, generally speaking, light bulbs can only be in one of two states: on or off. This knowledge, combined with knowing that the light bulb is not on, allows us to validly deduce that the light bulb is off. Thus, this is a case of a false analogy.
