In a recent article in this journal Eliot [1] has argued for the integration of some sort of analogical mechanism in future expert systems. While the present author agrees with this general aim there were a number of central points made by Eliot which do not reflect the up‐to‐date consensus on the general stages of analogical thinking. These differences are elaborated and some of the implications for Eliot's ThinkBack system, which follow from them are considered.
