Full Idea
The long-derided way of analogy works! Otherwise why, when someone else is relishing a food we have not tried, is it reasonable for us to try it ourselves?
Gist of Idea
Analogy works, as when we eat food which others seem to be relishing

A Reaction
Why wouldn't we rush to eat something an animal was relishing? Nice idea.
