My main quarrel with the trampoline model is that it assumes what it claims
to explain. It assumes some a priori (Newtonian?) gravity to give the
mother body the weight which will depress the trampoline and thus produce
the curvature which is gravity!!!

All analogies are imperfect. That's why we call them analogies
rather than copies or instances. . . .
