I wasn't trying to be argumentative either! Just passing along bolted joint knowledge!
If you follow the torque sequence and specification for the wheel, you should be good. If the tapers were machined correctly, and it's torqued right, the clamp load should be enough where it never slips or comes close to slipping.
Some reasons to double check would be:
1) If a stud was not fully seated/pressed in during manufacturing. You might achieve torque on the stud and then later have a road event that would pull it the rest of the way and you'd lose clamp load.
2) You had some improperly machined surfaces
3) You were possibly racing this and putting it through some 'higher effort than designed for' conditions that would stress a joint past yield. This is unlikely though.
