It does mater, some guys just have no motor skills to be good at honing, and then the Jnat quality matters. Some previous experience in honing also helps, because it helps to understand when to stop honing and how the stone works for best results.
In the end I will blame some sellers on trying to up sales by introducing the so called mysticism to Jnats, nothing mystic about them, they have their own quirks as hones but so do coticules and various other naturals. The only mystery really is if a particular Jnat will work for razors or not.
