I get the point but I do agree that it might not be a good analogy since when building structures people might disagree on where they should go but not on what a wall and a door are. In software your caretfully crafted "house" can just be a convoluted way to get from a to b to someone else.
To me writing a story comes closer to what writing software is. I can't just get an overview of their plans and know right away where I should be connecting the new "room" I want to build. Instead I need to understand what story the author was trying to get across and make my insertion in a way that makes sense with what was there before.
