Action-Manner (Ac/Mn) vs Comparison (Cf)
Comparison is more specific than Action-Manner. Thus, when you find a proposition that is telling you the manner in which an action happened through the use of comparison, it is better to use the Comparison label as the "deeper" relationship.
He quickly finished his dinner, stuffing the food into his mouth. (Action-Manner)
You eat like a man trying to win a hot dog eating contest! (Comparison)
Comparison (Cf) vs Idea-Explanation (Id/Exp)
Comparison is more specific than Idea-Explanation. Thus, when you find a proposition that is explaining another more through the use of comparison, it is better to use the Comparison label as the "deeper" relationship.
That restaurant serves amazing pizza, like the kind they make in Italy. (Comparison)
That restaurant serves amazing pizza; its deep dish crust is second to none. (Idea-Explanation)
