To attempt to make sweeping conclusions that a specific change will have a specific result on all guitars is, well, unwise.

While some changes do produce a result, human perception being what it is, people may or may not be able to perceive that change or agree on what the change is. When one starts to talk of changes that produce much less prominent - if any - change, such as the choice of binding material, the discussion tends to drift into less tangible things.
