I see your points and they are well received. I am not THAT scientific, it's really just an expression, but to argue your point a bit I pose this:

Rather than thinking of it as a laser being focused on an object or location (cause to converge on or toward a central point) try thinking of it as physical time and effort (focus) in a direct beam like a laser (concentration of attention or physical energy on something).

Really, it all depends on your perspective, and how you define "focus". And, whether or not you take it as an analogy or for face value.
