Agreed completely. I'm an on-again/off-again hobbyist photographer, but my personality tends to focus on the technical and processing stuff most easily. As such, I completely recognize the limitations of this aspect of photography.
I personally enjoy learning how to use tools so I like messing with processing techniques. Since I'm very much an amateur, it's an effective way to improve the objective quality of an image. Still, it has made me very aware of the limitations when it comes to improving the subjective quality of my photos.
Essentially, I can save an underexposed RAW photo or use levels, curves, and masks to improve the quality and balance of lighting and color...but it will never fix a poorly composed shot or help me to better understand how to get a point across.
