I don't know Dave, are you saying that you pry off the hubcaps and torque 20 lug nuts before heading off for the day?

In a couple of other disciplines I'm pretty rigorous before each use but...

You've made a giant presumption. You've said that it'd be impossible to over torque a lubed stud. That presumes that all wheels on all vehicles are always installed using a torque wrench. That's...
