Then again, it’s quite cliche that analogies break down and aren’t a good way to understand the world anyway. :) Unlike an orchestral score, which is normally written monolithically by a single composer, a complete U*ix system is often comprised of several programs from diverse parts of the world. (Well, unless you’re talking about something like OpenBSD.) Not sure of the ramifications of this though.
