And then there's the fact many larger toothed western saws of quality can have minimal set due to taper ground plates and potentially breasted tooth lines. They can be as effortless in use as Japanese pull saws when set-up correctly and tpi matched to board thickness, which I think is what Jacob is referring to.
like has already been said, just get stuck in and worry about the better tools when you get better.
