So what IS the effect of arrow stiffness ?

Greetings ,
Been trying to read everything on spine stiffness for recurve archery.
Everything about bare shaft tests, where they land , when they are too stiff or too weak, poundage,
the Easton arrow charts and so on.
I have tried the bare shaft tests , and tried two grade weaker spines , but to be honest
even the weaker ones landed to the left, when unfletched. Which leads me to think that you
have to be a pretty good shot, with good technique , to be able to make some valuable conclusions.
Which leads me to the main question :
How does an "incorrect spine" manifests itself.
Is it mainly the grouping that goes to pot : will you never be able to get a good grouping if your
arrows are one stiffness grade out from what it should be, ?
Or is it just another fine tuning aspect , that only really good archers will notice , and relative novices barely ?
Would the correct arrow spine all of a sudden reduce your grouping from 15 inches to 5 inches at 60 meters ?
