Ignoring the denier and addressing the actual topic...
I don't know that I'd describe Spielberg as a "great" director as such. He can rise to greatness - Schindler's List is probably a good example of that, as is Jurassic Park. But he is a little too sentimental, I think. And he's rather lost his nerve in the last decade or so. The guy who was willing to have a shark eat a little kid in Jaws turned into the guy who replaced guns with walkie talkies in ET because he didn't want the kids threatened.
But he's certainly a very competent director, and a highly influential and successful one.
