No, it's a fine analogy. I saw that toaster every day. I stuffed bread into it, and it returned it to me toasty and warm. But there are billions of other identical toasters out there, and over the decades, they kind of blend into one. I mean, seriously, look at this logically: By what identifying characteristic could Obi-Wan have recognized Threepio or Artoo and differentiated them from other droids of an identical model?
