Nube question - what does a tonearm upgrade do

I can understand what a cartridge upgrade can do , it is actually in contact with the record and transmitting the signal down the line . But how does the tone arm affect this signal transmission ?
What makes the difference between a good one and a great one ?

(Try balancing your cartridge/tonearm to 0 VTF so it floats level, then blow gently sideways on the cartridge. On many cheaper arms it will move an inch or so. On a top quality arm it will float all the way across the record.)

I guess that makes all Well Tempered arms trash. I don't think so.
