Sorry to say you are misinformed.

I had a shop mount some tires for me and within 50 mi. all 4 rotors were warped. They readily admitted they accidentally over-torqued the bolts due to a malfunctioning air regulator in the shop and paid $850 out-of-pocket to replace them.

There are a number of articles out there on this subject. Even AutoZone warns of this in their DIY Tire Change guide - page down to the WARNING box - http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/1b/d6/9f/0900823d801bd69f/repairInfoPages.htm
