His whole analogy of architects and builders falls apart once you realize as an architect of a business you have much less control and information as to what the market will actually do!

A building architect can design and make a blueprint based on knowing the qualities of various materials and a final outcome/design. That design isn't likely to change [much] after it is approved, unless the architect omitted something (or screwed up) or there are material issues.

Most ideas presented to 'coders' are half-baked. "I have this awesome idea! Let's build a building! With four bedrooms that will sleep a family!" "That's quite the well thought out blueprint there! Where do I start building?!"

Does that make it justifiable to respond with insults?
