I tried to expand enough to suit your taste in response. Essentially, the fact we may use a word in several situations does not imply the same or similar meaning in each.
The 'so it is ..." slippage into a different area that may use the term 'metaphor' does not drag the initial meaning with it. "so it isn't .."
