muebe, it can be that simple. And it can be that good - no doubt. However, once you really get into it (at least for me) the feeling of kneading in my hands seems to lead to an even better result. As you get the feel of the dough, the elasticity, the pull, etc. it seems to make a difference. It may be imagined, but I think it is real. I can feel when it is time to let it rest. It is part of the enjoyment of making the crust.
