Here's another question: I also heard that you don't/shouldn't hoss on the touch hole too much, another place that should merely be snugged. Supposedly this makes it easier to remove if it is a little cruddy in there. This could be a crutch for poor cleaning practices.

Bob - I always heard the opposite. I thought T/C frizzens were softer. I had changed my T/C Frizzens over to Lymans. All that was necessary is a bit of grinding on the pivot to make it fit the T/C lock.
