The way in which teachers interpret how learners assess new language interests me, and so when you noticed that switching the nouns (
woman /
man) could cause confusion, it intrigued me somewhat because the simile's meaning; i.e., A and B are not inherently connected, stays constant; i.e., B and A are not inherently connected. So, could you help me in understanding how you see switching the nouns could cause a learner confusion?
