Your example is bogus.

Lets say you have a moving company and you can move stuff in one day
from point A to point B.  However, there exists no road from point A
to point B where your truck will fit.  Additionally, only one company
builds the roads.  Is it wrong to say you can move a house in a day (I
mean, you have the means necessary), but the limits of the road system
may dictate otherwise?
