This is no doubt true, but then again to get your big symphony with
chorus performed and recorded, you need to have those skills as a
musician as well. The analogy would be correct if we just look at a
piece of software that was developed by a single programmer
single-handedly and for one moment don't look at the marketing,
production, program management etc. process - like with Mobius? ;)
