It was an analogy, just like your "float" analogy.

I'm not sure what annoys you about this.

I have already explained it: what annoys me is that it makes Network a hybrid object conflating two independent concepts, and makes the library less understandable as a result.

Others have already pointed out that it makes operations like equality confusing.
