Indeed, applicable to much of life.

If you can't figure out that electric guitar tone comes from primarily the pickups, amp, and signal chain, but also from the smaller details like hardware and the structural build of the guitar itself, you're not very smart.

The further you drift away from that point the closer you end up to a plank of wood and ultimately the “air” body.
If he compared a carved archtop and a solid body with like pickups into a clean amp I suspect there would have been a more pronounced difference. But hit that tone with amp breakup and hot pickups, volume and drive: does all the subtlety not disappear and just become an equation of pickup /amp EQ?
