While that may be true if you follow the Frets.com recommendations carefully, more generally, there are other ways to mess up. One of the most common errors is not getting the bottom of the saddle dead flat. Another is getting it dead flat but not perpendicular to the face of the saddle. Either of these mistakes will result in poor contact between the bottom of the saddle and the floor of the slot. Now there's a tone-robber for ya. It's even worse if there's a UST installed as the pressure on the pickup will be uneven across the strings.
