If you put this in an automotive perspective, "I like to only tighten my lugnuts finger tight, so next time I don't have to spend a few seconds loosening them." That wouldn't be smart.
I guess I should be more specific. Light tension with my cone wrenches, enough to where I am unable to loosen them with my fingers
Same goes for the cassette ring. Enough tension with the fastening tool but not enough to cause a headache at the time of removal.
