Very very true.
What you need to learn for yourself is, an eye for a picture, how to direct a model and most important how to get the most out of them. Point and click is the easy bit.
Also for lighting there is no single answer, because the scenario you are shooting in will alter the lighting effects. Mastering that comes with experience.
