I think you're premise is a little biased. Is blender _the_same_ as , say XSI, or Maya? No. Is it comparable? Yes! Abiword (for instance) is not identical to MSWord, but, you can write a document, even a book in both. So The key to understanding the sentence is "Yourself". You are probably _Not_ Pixar if you are looking for an open source tool, but if you are anybody ranging from a hobbiest, individual artist, freelancer, or even company with specialized 3D needs, blender can fill a niche very nicely- In fact it has been used in all of the above successfully- heck, even some of the previz for spiderman II was done in blender.
Oh, and by the by, I've used Max, A:M, XSI and blender. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and I'd say the original statement is accurate.
