That applies to anything. But to select your good tennis players, you have to
have a decent sized pool of tennis players in the first place.

Software development is an art form. But it requires skills. As does
software maintenance. And those skills must be learnt, they are not innate,
and can be taught.

Are you going to not teach Maths, because not every child can become an Alan
Turing?
