npub1vs8rrw7t75pm3tk9s5rrch5t6uj4jskanant43c986e9u5yav73sek54zy (npub1vs8…54zy) so? It only stands alone in npub150tm9hp8s4st7re79mrn5q9uj6a70pvuatgg9rd8rce6rd3xr3mqfnravx (npub150t…ravx)'s toot, not in the source material, which no doubt explains what parts of the analogy are relevant (the idea that to do garbage collection, you concentrate on grabbing the stuff that isn't garbage and sweeping away whatever's left.)
As a concrete, understandable analogy it's hard to beat. It's up there with Einstein's 'rubber sheet' analogy which brilliantly conveys a key idea whilst also being entirely unlike the actual theory.
