It was just a joke, winky face gave it away. Not sure about your number 2 though, if you're getting a lot of wind up then maybe the threads weren't lubricated enough, should just over turn then back off a bit. Unwinding then doing other bits seems like a sure way to end up with uneven tension.
I do use spoke lube, but it's possible the nipple isn't perfect. I took the tension back a bit, and worked on spokes around it, as in, tightened the next ones on it's side a little to even it out more and it seems OK now.
