One must consider that metaphors are one of the best tools an NLPer has available for several reasons. First of all, you don't have to be particularly skilled to string together a pack of lies that possibly alter someone's future for good. Secondly, even if your story turns out to be meaningless drivel, you've used up the better part of the hour and the client is none-the-wiser. And last, and certainly most important, you can take credit for anything good that happens to your client.... forever.
