No I'm not confused and I was not referring to "intonation". So now if you would be so kind as to answer my original question.
OK, I was confused because I said this
It can only effect intonation if it is in the wrong place, It matters not what it is made of.
then you quoted it and asked this
So if a nut or bridge were made correctly of an unorthodox material such as styrofoam It wouldn't affect the instrument's tonality?
forgive me if I took that to mean you were talking about how it may effect intonation. Now if you mean can saddle material effect "tonality" in terms of timbre or tone then yes it can and does.
Does that answer your question?
