Torque loss with a universal socket?

I never used a torque wrench on and intake to this day. I always started in the middle and worked my way out . "Snug", "snugger", "tight", "real tight". Using what ever wrench or socket I could get on them. After heated I would go to "super tight". then "Super Duper Tight" Its all in the wrist action. you'll hear your Knuckles crack when they are good. LOL
Tight is tight. Too tight is broke. lol
