0. my def is provisional but better than the existing one I think

1. "to stretch a point" is wrong, if my English is correct.

2. there are a lot of constructs like 附會成, 附會為, 附會到
which show that you 附會 sth and that there is a result

3. I don't think 附會 is much about analogies; and not always as negative as "false analogies"
most dicts are simply like
把没有关系的事物说成有关系;把没有某种意义的事物说成有某种意义:牵强~
that is, they consider that the meaning of 牵强 is in 附會.

LA has in addition 1. 結合比附史事或時事而發議論。
(see our discussion about 比附. If you read that word negatively, then that def is useless because not different from the second one; 結合 itself is not negative)

M uses it @傳說:
流傳在民間,關於某人、某事的敘述。內容多附會史實而有所改易,其中亦常夾雜神話。
(a rather telling use I'd say: a legend is obtained by adding to and interpreting historical facts)

TP has quite a number of uses that you can't explain as "draw false analogies": for nearly all of them, after beating my brains for hours :(, I think the best one-word gloss is "interpret" (in context of course)

銀翼的另一招牌菜「鍋粑蝦仁」,也附會一則歷史傳說:乾隆皇帝三下江南時,...
Yin Yih's stir-fried shrimp over crispy rice, another of its signature dishes, is also the stuff of a historical legend: On one of the three occasions when Qianlong...

李小龍旋風「是另一種東方文化異國情調的轉型,畢竟在拳腳武術上,東方武術的確多彩多姿,還附會成各種哲學和人生態度,」黃建業說,
Huang Chien-yeh suggests that Lee's films became popular because he represented "another version of exotic Oriental culture. After all, in terms of fighting techniques Eastern martial arts are very exciting, and they also carry an element of philosophy and a certain attitude toward life.

最後被附會成為今天屠夫祭祀的對象,台灣也有不少玄天上帝廟。
Erroneously, butchers adopted him as their patron saint, and Taiwan now has many temples devoted to him.
(was that erroneous from butchers?)

被附會成具有藥效,遂成為現代人的新寵。
[wild vegetables] have become a new favorite for health-minded modern people.[because they taste bitter like medicine]

卻又有歷史學家認為有「附會」台語來自河洛中原的看法
deemed unacceptable by scholars for its [河洛] implication that the Taiwanese language originates from China's Yellow River Basin area
(the word has an added overtone)

無論是文本爬梳、抑或作品外緣的附會參詳
Both in terms of discussions of the texts themselves and in matters related to them

經過民間附會傳說,(too bad translation is very far)

這些說法都是附會,我們其實只是一時好玩,
But actually these kinds of intellectual conceptualizations are secondary. The most important thing is that we are here to have some fun

讖是指預言的形式,緯是附會經書,也就是假借神明來預言人間禍福吉凶
Chen were omens or divinations, and wei were books which interpreted the Confucian classics as divine predictions about human affairs.

雖然一般信眾初入門時不會在乎什麼信仰理論基礎,也可能搞不清其中的矛盾附會之處,
Few believers are much concerned with doctrine when they first enter a religion, and can't see whether or not there are any contradictions in it;

from the web:
以人伦道德观念等社会科学知识附会《墨经》中的自然科技论说,是徐廷荣《新校正墨经注》的显著特色。这种解释方法,...
(sounds like 附会 is a valid activity, although the method is criticized further on)

Editor: Whew! There's quite a lot to consider when someone posts a saga, isn't there! ;-)
