That would be the conclusion, if you used circular reasoning. Using your logic I
can "prove" that it is impossible to write a C program that is faster than a
"good" Java program.

"If you can write a C program that runs faster than the equivalent Java program,
the conclusion would be that your Java program is not good."

It's easy to prove something when you assume it is true to begin with.
