I think you're assuming that he/she is the total and complete creative head of the picture, when in fact, many of them are not. What if a film had great direction, but a terrible soundtrack? What if a film had great direction, but terrible set design or art direction? I agree with you that it is difficult to separate the two, but I think you still can.
