I believe I also mentioned I do it with proper tools normally but I appreciate your concern (TBH I haven't had to change a wheel without a torque wrench in about 10 years so it isn't a real concern of mine).
Also, justification does not imply that I disagree with your method or that I think mine is correct. a justification is what it is, which is my rationalisation as to why I did it that way. Yes your technique is the correct one but some people may or may not have injuries physical ailments that prevent them from generating the leverage required to properly tighten the nut (aka my back and knees are fucked and depending on the day I may not be able to generate the force needed without suffering from back pain for the next few days or my knees letting go and winding up face first in a fender).
That being said in an ideal situation you are indeed correct
