Yes, nut-slot height is also important, and when it's wrong it can be really wrong...but understanding and enjoying a proper set-up goes *way* beyond the nut.

I only understand what my fingers tell me. Well, I understand a little physics, too.
The amount of force required to displace a string is highest at the nut, and it's lowest at the 12th fret. Your fingers are very sensitive pressure gauges. It makes sense to me to focus on the area that makes the most difference in feel, but I am a noob.
