I would not call it heresy, grease is a viscous fluid, so it can be better than a dry bolt when it comes to bolt retention in a vibrating bike.

I commented that I recommend blue loctite on rack, kickstand and cleat bolts. But I did not bother to mention that I usually use grease on water bottle cage bolts, fender bolts, stem bolts, brake bolts, etc.
