Silly arguement. It's like saying people who build their own cars are better drivers than people who buy their car from a dealership. It's like saying someone who made their own clothes is more stylishly dressed than someone who hired a taylor to make their $1,000 suit. It's like saying someone who grew their own vegatables is a better cook. And so on. A person could be great at building models but have a lousey sense of proportion and composition, no knowledge of correct lighting, no grasp of color coordination, and just in general poor at creating true art itself. OTOH, someone else who is all thumbs at creating models can be extremely talented at all of the above.
