I can't believe you actually said this. Not that it isn't accurate, but 
I'd rather not even think about analogies of the form
BSL:X :: Java:Y which put Beginning Student and Java on the same team in 
some fashion. I have used analogies of the form BSL:Java :: X:Y, for 
instance where X = a solar car and Y = an eighteen-wheeler, or X = indie 
music and Y = top-40 AM radio... --PR
