Case and point: Yuji Naka. Unless you think Balan Wonderworld isnt akin to torture.
Yuji Naka wasn't the one responsible for making Sonic good though. The concept was his and he did the programming, but the actual game design and direction was Hirokazu Yasuhara's. It's no coincidence the main games dropped drastically in quality under Yuji Naka's production when Yasuhara left. Yuji Naka only deserves credit for designing two games: Ivy the Kiwi and Rodea. He's had more decades of undeserving credit than Keiji Inafune. Balan was only the ultimate proof people needed.
