You just need to HTFU.
Have used carbon bars, stem, seat post, saddles, frames, rims for many years. Never used a torque wrench, never had a failure.
But of course you have this deep, deep, experience after allegedly "working in a bike shop for a season" so yeah, I would expect this kind of repeated confusion from you.
