- Where are you getting the fire? There is no fire. You're not touching the burner/element, you're touching the stove top. The analogy is pretty well matched.

- The eye contact itself ISN'T Tsukuyomi, but is the means by which Itachi makes contact with his victim to cast Tsukuyomi on the victim. Thus in the analogy, however I make contact with you ISN'T the hot stove top, but the means by which I make contact in order to "hot stove top" (as a verb) your finger.
