JW>  DO> Aren't you simply reifying his metaphor?

JW>  Damn! My (small) dictionary des not contain the word "reifying"

JW>  I have probably wanted to reify a metaphor *dozens* of times!

Example:
I write, "The sun's golden orb sank slowly into the western sea."

Then you accuse me of being unscientific and teaching that the sun is 
made out of metal and sinks in the ocean at night.
