Thank you but the analogy with the socks was given by Sabine Hossenfelder, she is an amazing physics communicator and her no nonsense approach to everything is both appealing and refreshing! She has a great youtube channel [1] and a book for anyone interested [2].
I just explained the analogy and that the sock is actually a propagation of distributions.
