Well now we sail off into matters of comparative advantage, division of labour / gains from trade and so on.

But the general point that labour and capital are highly heterogenous still stands. You can't pluck a boiler fitter out of the Pilbara, drop him at a desk in Perth, and expect to see anything useful for your web business any time soon. And vice versa.
