It's not really pointless though. I'm simply relating to you my direct experience in rigging in both programs, with the end result being a rigged figure and whether or not it can produce credible results. It most certainly can. Never said maya wasn't capable, it's highly capable. You're just going to have to build much a much more involved figure rig to match a Poser rig. Yes, you can add many many more capabilities to that rig in Maya but it's vastly more complicated to design, especially if you want to be friendly and goof-proof to animators.

@EClark1894: It's probably a significant reason why this forum is all but lifeless. It's really a shame because there used to be a wealth of information and learning here. People "run off" because, you know, why even bother if everything you type gets twisted and reshaped into something else. Then, why bother sifting through all the nonsense to get to the gist of the conversation. I actually "try" from time to time to engage and help but if its in the midst of all this entitlement, "where's my cookie", kind of stuff, I'll just post elsewhere too ;)
