Here - I’ll help your analogy...

What’s really impressive is that when your shooter goes to examine his shots, he finds next to every hole a paint brush and paint with which to paint his bulls-eye.

It is amazing isn’t it?

No; that’s not relevant. The point of the analogy is that it illustrates the confusion about selective sampling; hence, the Texas Sharpshooter who brings a paintbursh and can to paint bulls-eyes around his shots after the fact is the correct analogy.
