Its pretty dern close. Also, this list is only possible reasons. You can have fruit set in temps on 50f constant or 100f constant.

^ Agreed, many types of excessive stress can cause the plant to abort blooms. This also includes underwatering and nitrogen (among other nutrients) deficiencies although in some cases that could fall under the item "pot size" (too small) and if it were underwatering there would be other symptoms more severe.
