Later polemicists mistook Trinity analogies for logical proofs their predecessors rejected

Evidence

Some polemists of the high scholastic period and later put these comparationes forward as logical proofs, ignoring the opinion of their greater contemporaries that the Mystery of the Trinity is not susceptible of rational proof, as distinct from rational illustration. The great scholastic theologians did not attempt ‘proof’. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 977
