The suggestions about having strippers or 4 German Shepards standing on a pipe assume that there is no friction to overcome in initially moving the fastener. That is an incorrect assumption.

So if that is true, how does a torque wrench set for the correct value account for that any more than the strippers or dogs do?
The torque value is given with drag torque included. Where it is not, then it would have to be measured and added to the total torque, and the torqueing procedure would indicate that.
