Yep, and I've even raised it in the ng before. There are two ways to deal
with it - either give everyone the same vote for "technical" or (Gilles's
advice) take a look at a few gallery sites using the program your in the
dark about.

IMHO, in general things are as hard as they look, particularily complex
modelling and good textures.

I wouldn't worry too much - "technical" is the least subjective of the
catagories and consequently the one most prone to errors. Accept it.
