The lubricant will not allow the lugs to break their specified torque on their own,it will only allow the nut to be successfully removed without damage occurring to the threads.
I work in the industrial field and use never seize on applications to over 2000ft lbs of torque. The only way you can reach that torque is with a lubricant on the threads otherwise the friction and force will literally gore the metal before the specified torque is reached.
Now do you understand the purpose of thread lubricant?Or do you need a more scientific explanation?

If you're torquing to 2000 ft-lbs you're yielding the bolts to get clamping force, the never seize won't do anything to get them off.
