The analogy that immediately comes to mind is programming languages and particularly those like our beloved LC since it is deliberately designed to look kinda familiar due to to it's English language syntax.
This harks back to the other discussion that has been going on regarding creative users. I have absolutely nothing against hobbyist programmers but there's so much more to programming than writing the instructions that tell a computer what to do - that is (or should be) the very last step in a process of problem analysis, logic and data structure design. Just like recording software, using a programming language without the required knowledge produces pretty lousy results.
