this struck me as weird. both in terms of “tinkering” being the most important thing to be doing, and then also describing “working like a surgeon” to be tinkering.

That isn't how analogies work--they are about partial similarities, not equivalence. The OP never says or implies that working like a surgeon is tinkering--allowing focus on the most important thing to be doing doesn't mean that the most important thing is the same for everyone.

Yeah, if an analogy is an exact match it's not an analogy any more.
