Seriously, you start by saying that, out of every 100 particles of air, 97 are nitrogen and 21 are oxygen, and it just gets more bizarre from there. Maybe they try in the middle, but once they introduce the tornado into the mix, the metaphor just loses all meaning.

Obvious error aside, the analogy is overly complicated and weird as fuck. Sans math, the necessary concepts can be described in a few minutes.
