In school, you will learn to form arguments to reference to related analogies to either prove or disprove a point. In law school it was the entirety of what we did. 1000 years of analogies to past analogies, and if you took one of the visiting Italian professors, you got the joy of adding in some Roman case law as well.

Comparing to other MMOs is a perfect way to discuss a point. You can look at what others did right or wrong, break it down, and consider how it could apply in the cuurent game.
