I argue that many scientific discoveries are inspired by analogical models (Section 1), that such models often function as prototypes (not paradigms) for developing a particular target system (Section 2), and that prototype modeling is particularly valuable for designing modern scientific instruments (Section 3). From this discussion of scientific analogy, we discover that the endorsement of prototype models often precipitates severe strains in the literal vocabulary at a particular
