An analogy or a fallacyFake friends are just like a newtons cradle: whenever your not facing them, they'll stab you in the back.

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

Fake friends don't always stab you in the back so I'm assuming you're using a biased sample to make the conclusion that they would. As far as the analogy, that's a big stretch from a ball hitting another ball as being the same as a fake friend turning on you. I'm sure if my imagination stretches with some help I might see the correlation, right now I'm having trouble because Newtowns cradle seems merely a representation of transferring energy from an object to others via momentum., not sure how that's stabbing in the back.
