Yes, under torquing is not good. Yes, the engineers who came up with the lug nut torque know what they are doing. I've been torquing lug nuts on my vehicles for 30 years and have never had any problems what so ever.
Most importantly, do NOT lub the lug nuts or studs unless it specifically says so. In general, ALL fastener torques are with DRY THREADS.
