No, I totally agree.
I've seen some friends who came up with awesome shots using compact cameras. I know one who only used disposable plastic-and-cardboard cameras, and still came up with great stuff. (I just wish she'd used something better, because what looked good at 6x4" really didn't work well when blown up, sadly.)
DSLRs can give you more options, but you need the creativity and location and subjects more.
