Very interesting analogy. I'd say for TeX and LaTeX (I don't know the rest), you need to make an oar for each specific journey, and oftentimes you need to refashion the oar mid journey. Additions to the oar can be magic, in that while on the journey you can make an insufficient but simple addition, and your journey will speed on as fast as if you'd done the addition just right. But some time before you tie up at dock at your destination, you must make all those additions right.
