To further clarify: You can't look at the tasks or process or whatever
it is that you think that you do in the field and ask the question.
You have to look at what you are building and then ask the question
what is required to design it. Design in all of its forms is not a
theoretical exercise. At the end of the day, something is built,
constructed, made or created out of some set of materials available
based on the design direction created by one or more people. To create
"great" anything requires a deep understanding of all the components
required to actually build that "great" thing.
So, I think you have to ask yourself:
Can a [DESIGNER TYPE] create a great [PRODUCT TYPE] without having
[SKILL TYPE]?
In the case of interface and software design, the question then reads:
Can an interface designer create a great software or web application
without having visual deisgn skills? To which the answer is no.
