I think it was Richard Bach who stated:
"Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours."
Might have been Hugh Prather...but I think I was right the first time.
A proper set-up involves checking neck-angle, checking frets for levelness, dialing in the proper relief, saddle height, checking intonation, and nut slot height for each string.
Thinking that one might correct or compensate for the other is incorrect, and anything less than a complete job is, well, incomplete....and in it's incompleteness, will provide a less than optimal experience for the player.
Good enough is never good enough.
