That probably means that you have never tried it...
like I said.. I have used it on regular size nuts and bolts since 1975 with no problems. It only adds about FIVE Ft. Lbs of torque needed to loosen the nut.. one problem is that many nuts and bolts are not surgically clean.. in the old days they suggested NOT just clean.... but a PRIMER was provided for Locktite... most situations will be on normally nuts and bolts not specifically cleaned before progressing... so any locking liquid will be slightly less than its optimum hold.
