Help an EE get a handle on this.

When they (MEs) specify a torque on a bolt, which should set the
tension along the axis of the bolt do they also add in the coefficient
of friction between the steel to steel junction of the threads?  The
rotary motion being converted to linear motion by sliding two inclined
planes together? Is this why adding an anti seize (lubricant) will mess
this up?  Is this why you're supposed to torque the bolt in one
continuous motion?

Wouldn't anti seize make the bolt tighter?
