I am not comparing the objectivity of "danger" to the objectivity of "wrong". I am not stating or implying that their objectivity is the same or similar. I am using the word "danger" as an illustration of a point. The point is correct, and the illustration is correct. That "danger" has different objectivity from "wrong" is not relevant to the point I was illustrating.
There is an objective sense in which an analogy is good or bad, related closely to the concept of reference class tennis. Having one technical similarity does not make an analogy an appropriate one and certainly does not prevent it from being misleading. This example of 'for example' is objectively 'bad'.
