Other than the top 3, these seem to be differences between software and buildings rather than software designers and architects. In addition, I don't think the first three are true. Lastly, these are distinctions without any actual difference in the context of the metaphor, where "architect" could have been replaced by 'novelist' or 'cabinetmaker' and no information would have been lost.

edit: to be more specific about the top three; the first rests on the word "minute" which can be as large or small as you want, depending on what you're trying to prove. The second may be true now, but that's largely because we lack a specific language of high-level software abstraction, so the only way to learn it is to build a lot of things (the general point of the original passage, btw.) The third is just wrong - plenty of people are useful for building parts of software who would have no ability to design a large application. I suspect that those people are a majority of the industry.
