Very interesting. Recently I have seen several trade magazine how to 
articals on brake work mention  to lube the lug nuts. Of course they 
have a lot of readers in the salt belt! They do show using a torque 
wrench to tighten lugs as rotor warping is so easy to do when tightening 
them wrong.

I have never had a lubed lug nut back off. I will however not mention 
the lug nuts that back off because I never tightened them....
