That does not seem to contradict my statement.  You can make up any
composition in your head, but you will probably agree you can only
sucessfully implement it if you have the technical abilities.  On the
other hand you can start placing objects in a scene without knowing
anything about composition, just using random values.  

In other words i meant technical abilities are a requirement for creating
a scene at all while artistic abilities are only required for making a
good scene.
