I'm thinking it's a question of time and motivation (as you note).
I've heard many tales of kids being left behind in the little kids room at daycare suddenly deciding to poop in the potty so they could remain with their peer group. Peer pressure is good! (rarely, but sometimes)
Also a month seems like a very short period of time for potty training. I've heard tales of kids who got it that quick, but it took constant engagement with Emmett over the couse of a year to really get the pooping part down.
That year sucked. He was impacted. He had terrible painful diaper rashes because he'd poop and wouldn't tell. Oy. Bad flashbacks!
