You're not even wrong.

A bad analogy is like a leaky screw driver.

You can steal a credit card, yes. You cannot, I repeat CANNOT,
"steal a credit card number", because "stealing" involves
depriving someone of something. People will probably figure
out what you're trying to say, just like adults understand
the approximations of a 3-year old.

And there is no such thing as "identity theft" either, it's
just an imperfect analogy created by the media to turn a
concept (someone impersonating you by using your credentials)
into a cool sound bite.

To recap, you do NOT steal my identity, and you do NOT steal
my credit card number. If your premises are false, then your
entire argument falls to pieces.
