For example, your computer must have all the components in place for it to function.
Incorrect, inkorrekt: my computer needs a minimum set of components present to perform a given function; that minimum varies depending on what function I want it to perform.
I can pull the grapical display, the floppy, the CD drive, the keyboard, mouse, serial port, parallel port, USB ports, sound card, most of the memory, etc., and still have my computer start and perform useful functions.
It is more complex than what you think.
Your analogy makes the same sort of mistaken assumptions as your argument.
