I do agree with you, Mutt - I'm referring more to a short term effect of picking up a chilly guitar, and how the strings would be affected within a few minutes by playing, ratrher than the longer-term effect of the wood's movement due to it coming to temp and humidity throughout after moving from one environment to another.
The timber is going to do all the moving that is required to change the pitch by slightly altering the setup. That kind of explains why it varies from guitar to guitar. The most consistent and predictable material in the equation is the string far more so than the variable nature of timber. Its not hard to predict with some consistency how much a string will move and it's not a lot. It would be the same on any guitar with similar string length and the same string. Not true of the timber that it is fixed to.
