To be fair, the very first line in the OP says they don't buy the analogy, not that they don't buy the main point.

It wasn't obvious to me that it was purely about the analogy:

There are people who only know a few things. But on a suitably scoped project, that may be fine.

That's sort of a counterpoint to the main point, which is why I wanted to pull the discussion back to the main point.
