Knowing all the history, composition and minutia of my horn makes me understand it better and that makes me want to practice more. And that's what is really the most important. So it can help.
Beyond that, wanting to know all this stuff is a sign that you are "obsessed" with the saxophone. And I believe a certain amount of obsession is mandatory if you are going to be a real musician. Without the obsession, you're just my cousin Bill trying to look cool on TV with a pair of dark shades.
By the way, based on that Sopranos bit, Bill is definitely a better actor than Hillary. And all you Canadians can be proud that Hillary picked a campaign song by a Canadian singer that was originally written as a jingle for Canadian Airlines.
