I think your point is pretty hard to argue with but it doesn't have much bearing on the original point; not everybody can be a programmer.
Yeah a programmer can be a hipster douchebag, a Star Trek loving nerd with Asperger's or a stay at home mom. But not everyone will ever be able to do it.
PS - I love Ratatouille.
EDIT:
To clarify further; anybody CAN have aptitude for programming, but not everybody DOES.

This.
I think (in your edit) you are stating the point I'm trying to make rather better than I did.
