I don't believe that it's possible to draw a clear destinction between

being unable to do anything but assembling a colourful collage of the
data they're given is more of a self-fulfilling prophecy than a truth.

Having worked in the nexgen games industry with lots of designers and artists, I can only agree with Achim here. One cannot draw a hard line between programmers and designers, because these two come in all kinds of flavors ;-)
