This is a brilliant parable on behalf of possibility, but it doesn’t end the argument (as Eli freely admits) because it doesn’t have bearing on probability.
As a surface analogy, it makes it pretty clear that discontinuous and radical, even unbelievable change is possible. But it doesn’t make it probable.
