Unlike most media, computers are a bit too predictable - especially if you get lazy about it. That was his point, and IMHO it's a very solid one. 

For evidence, I point you to the acronym "NVIATWAS". 

For most other media, you actually have to do something about it... using 'defaults' in other media will get you nowhere - not even passable. Computers make it a bit easier.

BTW, this includes modern photography, where the difference between a typical crappy tourist shot and a sheer masterpiece is a matter of seconds, plus an attentive eye on composition, lighting, lens settings, shutter speed, focus, and aperture. 

Quote - I see incredible great art in places one doesn't expect. This includes Poser. 

Same deal here. However, the idea is to rise above the mundane, and to push the tools well beyond what it can do. that is what makes it stand out as art. This is exactly the same thing Mr. Moore was pointing towards.

Dale B addressed this pithily:

"Tools are just that: tools. Yes, 90% of Poser output is utter shit. So is 90% of Maya, Max, Modo, Lightwave, etc. The only difference is that 'big app users'  bury their turds in the backyard and pretend they never existed. As a hobbyist market, Poserites tend to throw theirs out in the street and preen. It's all in how you look at it and what you are trying to do."

Which is what those higher-end CG artists see and wonder: "why do they think this is show-worthy?" Fair enough.
