CPUs don't have logic or reason, so it's not a good analogy. E.g. you can replace an infinite set of memories by distilling them into a few bits of knowledge that underpin that given set of experiences.
I don't think an analogy is meant to be factually equivalent, it is meant to convey meaning. I perfectly understood the meaning of the parent comment, even if it is technically inaccurate.
We aren't trying to understand minds or caches, we're trying to encourage a practice that has little to do with the inner workings of either.
