It doesn't actually describe either an evacuating or a compacting collector, and yet the process it describes is definitely fully STW and all-or-nothing rather than incremental.
The metaphor also has the problem that, because in bowling the position of the pins matters, not just the total number, that the actual shape of "memory" has to be preserved - i.e. this is not any kind of moving collector.
