I hope you don't find analogies like that. It doesn't make sense to compare athletes to programming languages; that analogy makes no sense at all.

Also +1 to what @Padding says.

It's obviously not a precise analogy :)

However, it gets the point across; taking a bunch of bits from disparate well-functioning systems and smashing them together doesn't guarantee that you'll get another well-functioning system.
