It’s implied that you don’t think that analogy was valid, because if you did, you wouldn’t say “Those givens seem to provide information all by themselves”. You’d say, “Okay, at this point, I think it’s best to refrain from trying to apply a meta-judgement to give any information beyond the fact that creating DI sequences is hard enough for someone who is still a relatively new student to the theory (ie me) that Owen didn’t try to write this post as an example of a complete DI program itself.”
Those givens seem to provide information all by themselves.
You don’t think my analogy with the Akashi Kaikyou bridge and all is valid?
I don’t think I said that. I’m mostly going by your own conveyed judgement and the responses you received.

That doesn’t sound true to me. (But the thread is not of sufficient interest to discuss further.)
