I feel like this would be a factor for automatic torque wrenches but not manual ones. As you try to hit the torque correctly you usually slow to a complete stop.

So long as you don't stop, then start, then stop, hoping to hit the correct torque.

Once you stop, the coefficient of static friction will increase the apparently torque, potentially leaving the fastener under-torqued.
