Why small bolt pattern?

The rotation of the wheel will actually try to tighten the nuts. Not tight as in torqued, just in the direction of tight. So if you were to forget to tighten them there is a chance they would not come off. It isn't a matter of who, it is a law of physics.

Like I said, I think this is BS and you have not proved a thing except "saying so."

When you "blip" and engine what do you think the crank bolt is trying to do?
