No - that's not what I meant, they both require skills, but lowering can (can not will) be more physically demmanding if the rope is connected directly to the belayer, rather than the anchor (which you may do to avoid running the rope over a sharp edge). ie it can be more difficult than you anticiapte to lower someone when their full weight is being taken by your body position.
