Re: Does String Gauge Affect Intonation?
Disclaimer: I'm not a luthier, and certainly not professional, but have been setting up guitars and mandolins for a fair spell.
Technically, your luthier is correct. In the real world, any difference is probably not noticeable to most of us, and may well fall within the range of intonation variance (that is, inherent inaccuracy) that's built into every fretted instrument.

But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
