It all comes down to what you break down the level to be.
level = 64x64 tiles(?), tiles = 16x16 pixels, pixel = graphical unit. heh so a level maker is actually a graphics assembler ^.^

Exactly my way of thinking. Level makers don't need much skill our precision; the resolution they work with is 16 times larger then a graphics artist! If you can make nice graphics, you can make nice levels as good if not better then the best level maker.
In addition, a graphics maker can make new tiles which flow nicer or look nicer all together....making a nicer level. You just can't argue with this. People who make levels and cannot make graphics...yes, I say it is utter nonsense. To disrespect intended.
