I think what we really need here is a bad car analogy. See, the Internet is like a series of interstate highways going through tunnels. And when we take a dump of a Wikipedia, it might be an eighteen-wheeler or it might be a Matchbox car. MySQL is diesel, Postgres is premium unleaded. And the radio only does AM, but the music is better. Also, keep your tyre pressures up. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this.
The only problem with the premium unleaded is that it fails to power the 18 wheelers. And diesel doesn't help a Matchbox car either.
Now, if we start talking hydrogen fuel cells, the entire argument is moot.
