I'm not gonna argue about it. Choose whichever way you wanna use.
A pro automotive mechanic does things fast/easy to save time & make money (flat rate)
A professional aircraft mechanic, like myself, does things correctly regardless of the time/cost/effort involved in doing so. And by correctly I do mean by the book, not just Joe Blow from Camber Plate Co. says so. There's absolutely a torque spec for that top nut, per Volkswagen if you look it up in their manuals used at the dealership. You can bet nowhere in that manual says "zing it on there with an impact", even if that's the short cut some attempt to take
