Well let us rephrase the question, do good apples make good oranges. No answer, yep that's right an apple is an apple and an orange is an orange. Do not confuse driving with teaching, different arts, that is all.

Now an then you find a good apple who also does a very good orange impersonation, now and then a good orange who does a good apple impersonation.

Trouble is the good oranges are doing apple and orange work with the big chain fruit shops and a lot of good oranges and good apples go unsold in the general grocery store, generally because they are not properly cared for and are kept in clapped out boxes in the sun and it is hard to convince the average consumer they are a good orange or apple and even harder to get on the shelf of the big grocery store.
