I feel deeply saddened (amused) that you don't even understand the mechanics of your own analogy, and furthermore, what an analogy does, or what makes a good analogy.
It's very disappointing to see that you still lack comprehension on such a simple thing.

Cookie and Game = Incomplete product. (Note that this is NOT saying that they are being compared to each other for the sake of similarities, but that they both represent an incomplete product for the purpose of the comparison.)

Bake Time and Production Time = Time into the project. (Again, not compared to each other for the sake of similarities, but for the representation of the point on the timetable the game/cookie has been in production/bake)

The analogy works because the comparison of one stupid complaint pertaining to an incomplete product translates directly into the stupid complaints of another incomplete product.

But perhaps I can simplify this for you:

Complaining about certain things in the Alpha is like complaining you're getting wet in the rain and you didn't bring an umbrella. (In before "Oh yes, because an umbrella is SO MUCH like the game!")

If you still don't get it: "It's simply stupid."

I will say nothing more on the matter. Good day to you.
