Yup, I can agree with you on that matter, but only to some degree (hence why I don't see it as 90-10).
If you were to guide some random dude through a painting - he would hold the brush and mix the colors and you would command like "mix yellow and a bit of brown and put a 2cm line here at this angle" (only MUCH more detailed), I believe he would create much better painting than without having you painting it "through him". But I also believe that painting would be much worse than if you would actually paint it with your hand and not only 10% worse.
On the other hand, if you had some kind of supercomputer which could read mind waves or whatever it should read lol:) and which has an ultra precise and sensitive mechanic hand or something, you could produce a painting at your standard level without lifting a finger. But in this example, we have an apparatus that has perfect dexterity and control. So, you could maybe even produce a picture that is actually above your level. Perhaps similar to using a drawing program with option to turn on smoothing when doing linework (like SAI or manga studio).
I mean, I know everything there is about circles. There's not much to know. And I can visualize the circle and give it properties that I want etc. Yet, I can't draw a good circle yet. And that bad circle would be ten times worse if I was using my legs, for example:)
