Walter,
There is a big difference between a parallel adn a similarity and therein lies the danger. As one example, both OO adn RDBMS refer to an "entity". However, the entity in each one is very different from the other. So much different that totally wrong conclusions can be drawn if it is not clear whcih entity one is referring to.
