I agree. Bending is not a mode of failure at all. A frame can be extensively dented and bent before it stops being usable.
I don't think it is unreasonable to expect bike shop mechanics to utilize torque wrenches when fastening parts on a carbon fibre frame.
It's not unreasonable. It's just an observation how resilient CF bike frames are against adverse impacts.
