I never said I only know one app...I've used over a dozen of them over the last 20 years and I am very familiar with and know how to use Maya very well. Although there are some commonalities between all packages they are definitely not all the same. So I submit the argument that it *is* as much about the package as it is about general 3D knowledge. You pretty much state so yourself by excluding 3DS Max out of the equation.
