Fileman 2 and Metaphors

No, one, situation is exactly same as another. A past experience from Situation Former is found to be helpful in a Situation Later, only because of some generalisation on the nature of the two situations, what they have in common and what could work based on what is common. Finding common factor in Metaphors involves a more basic kind of generalisation. Totally different fields connected by some threads which are obviously there, but what exactly are they, even if we are able to find them and relate to them? Fileman 10 might need experience with 10 files before he can confidently solve a New File while Fileman 2 needs only 2 before the solving process evokes Clarity . Is it possible that Fileman 2 could be good (God) at Metaphors?
