no it is necessary, if there is a torque spec the specific wrench should be used. right tool for the right job. i have seen way to many bike that people thought it was " not really necessary" to go to spec and they eiher strip it out or things get worn out because they were not tightened down all the way. you can get lucky and not ruin things, but usually the things with the specs are expensive, so be smart and make sure its done right.
