I believe there are lock washers between the flat washers and the nuts, just like it should be done.
The "that is a no no defeats you purpose" comment is a bit confusing though.
I am curious as to why you say the flat washer can turn. I suppose it can, but why would it? The carriage bolt isn't going to turn so the flat washer has no motivation to turn. I suppose if I did a lot more left turns there would be uneven force that might turn the washer. Or is it right turns?
