Excellent point, when "true", yes without a doubt.
When brutally applied by the ham-fisted "tight enough" is just below the failure-point of materials.
Not so un-common with steel & aluminum components "back when", CF components will accommodate no such guff.

I should have written "tight as possible does not cut it" for those not familiar w/ the ham-fisted "mechanic".

Thanks for the excellent question.
