Much less skill and different skills. Declaring that it will take the same level of skill (measured in mean amount of training and practice to do the job) in order to make a finished product is an appeal to the law of averages. It does not take the same amount of skill to typeset a book well in InDesign as it did to typeset a book in e.g. the 1930s.

True, but there are way more typesetters employed today than in the 1930s, and what they are able to do with their skills has changed a lot. I guess I’m just arguing that animation will follow the same path.
