I seem to remember that the person who posted that original theory (the one about art created in Photoshop being credited to the Adobe programmers) was systematically shot down in flames with pretty much the same arguments as have been put forward here, although I think, to be fair, she was only acting as devil's advocate. You could apply the same arguments outside the world of digital art - who really "created" the Mona Lisa? Leonardo, or the unknown craftsmen who made his brushes and mixed his paints and wove the canvas? I think the truth of the matter lies not so much in the provenance of the tools used, but how they are used and the final product of that use.

PS: Mike: I think it was Van Gogh who painted the sunflowers. Monet's flowers were water lilies.
