  Now, who is taking an analogy too literally?

  I offered the movie theater analogy as a compliment to your
restaurant analogy.  The intent was two-fold.  First to show that the
same people who won't wait for a busy signal to clear, won't wait in
line for a block-buster movie.  And, second, that good restaurants
usually have full parking lots.
