Well, like I said in response to another post, metaphors, similes and analogies work because they are not identicalities. It seems significant to me that software borrows some of the languguage of constrution. It also seems significant that software also borrows the language of other domains. For example, we "write" software as well as "build" it. It has "syntax" and "language." We mix metaphors when try to protect software as both a form of property and a form of speech. The cognitive linguistics can get pretty complicated. On the qa issue, by the way, I think there are plenty of similarities between a bug list and a punch list. Differences too. There are responses to this message:
