That's a misinterpretation. Best bolts in the world doesn't mean strongest, that's where we'd use the word strongest. Best bolts is an opinion.

A max strength before shearing/failure is just another req. for the task the mechanic wants to know, it doesn't make them objectively worse unless they were used in a situation where they needed to be stronger.
