That's pretty much it. The steep rake, about 26 degrees IIRC, and about 6-3/4 inches of trail work together to allow easy low speed handling but still have high speed stability. But I still believe that the combo is what causes the wobble the dressers seem to get more often than the rest of the bikes.
