Well, if one doesn't like acrimonious and hysterical debates, yeah, then
it's a good reason.
But other than that, I can't think of a good reason why one shouldn't use such analogies. As long as they're supportable, that is.
"What? We're NOT allowed to draw analogies to the Third Reich? That's THOUGHT CONTROL! Just like in NAZI GERMANY!"
