Well, I'm pretty sure Steve would. He isn't a "producer", which is why he refers to himself as an engineer.
A producer usually has a lot of input on the sound of a band on record. Watch the documentary of the making of Aerosmith's album Pump for example, and you'll see the producer telling them to change lyrics, guitar parts, etc. Listen to an album recorded by Phil Spector, and you'll hear the "Phil Spector sound". The only thing on a recording that might give away the fact that Steve recorded it is the sound of the drums, and that's not even always the case.
Oh come on! Isn't steve always refered to as a controlling svengali?
Yeah, it is funny that you mention the Pump documentary....I often site that as an example of producers producing a band when discussing a more "documentary-like" approach to recording that Steve favors.....
Also, Pink Floyd is not perfection.
