while you're not wrong, this doesn't apply to torquing beyond the limit of a torque wrench. The wrench can physically keep going, but it won't be able to measure/quantify the torque applied...which happens to be the whole point of using a torque wrench. At that point, you may as well use a breaker bar and turn it until it's GNT.
Similarly, you can keep turning the knob on your stereo forever, but you will reach the limit of what it can output. Continuing to turn the knob does not increase volume past it's limit.
