Let me ask you something. How do you feel about native Siberian wood carvers (or, if you happen to have ever thought about native Siberian wood carvers before, insert a group of people you have never conciously considered before)?
Don't be shy, this is an exercise in makeing you understand.

now that you've brought (insert whatever I have never consciously considered before) to my attention, it falls into defintion "2 : an act of giving particular attention : CONSIDERATION" of the word respect.
I'm thinking that your black and white thinking means that respect is "3 a : high or special regard : ESTEEM b : the quality or state of being esteemed c plural : expressions of respect or deference" and ONLY that definition.
I'm also of the opinion that the analog also qualifies and frames his argument along the same lines.
