I'm reminded of when I heard a creationist argument that evolution defied the law of increasing entropy because things supposedly became more organized rather than more random as they should... and responded that if that analogy made sense, then hot weather should always increase people's activity levels because high temperature corresponds to more particle movement. (It was oppressively hot at that place and time, to the point that nobody wants to do anything but sit still and fan the sweat, only occasionally moving to a cooler spot to sit at when the one they were at had gotten too hot.)
Even if and when such distant analogies do appear to work because of similar-seeming outcomes, the actual causes/mechanisms at work are too unrelated for the analogies to be useful anyway.
