Hi,

my first thought was, that quantum entanglement would be a better
analogy, but actually it doesn't fit, too or at best fits as a
squishy analogy likewise for hard as well as for symbolic links. It's
probably better to drop all analogies and care about what a hard link
really is, to avoid mnemonics that lead to misunderstandings.
