I know of a pretty famous car tuner in the US (I won't get too specific for various reasons) and despite most people in my community going to him for service over the years, multiple people have come out and proved he rarely if ever torques anything to spec. For the longest time he even allowed customers to watch in the shop space as he worked on their cars and he'd hand-torque many things that the car manual was very clear needed to be specifically torqued for safety and operational reasons.

The fact that people would share this and it didn't curb the amount of business and referrals he got just proved to me what you've said for the longest time.

People don't like to be troubled with details and they'd rather be ignorant of them.
