That's true, but another fundamental feature of metaphors
is the insight they provide by understanding one thing
in terms of another.
I think it is this double aspect of metaphors which is
partly responsible for the puzzling feeling caused by
self-consciousness.

I am puzzled about all statements being metaphors.
To me one feature about metaphors is that we must
tolerate inconsistencies.
