Correct answer.
WRONG answer.
And definitely no myth.
However we are not building rockets to the International Space Station or guidance systems for cruise missiles. Now I haven't either, but I have seen copies of engineering drawings and spreadsheets on torque values on the subject.
Not calculating and applying the effect while working on RVs and TVs is negligible and inconsequential. In fact the variations couldn't even be measured on basic mechanics shop tools.
As with any subject, too many arm chair "experts" without knowledgeable experience in the field. :R
