Mine is always loose enough that you don't need to undo it to put it on or off. Probably has no effect whatsoever except on my head. However, I disagree that drop nosebands are placed on soft tissue. A correctly fitted drop noseband should be high enough that it's on bone, not soft tissue. If it's not on bone, it's too low. I've seen the video you mention - I'm pretty sure there was a cut between the "correct fitting" shot, and the close up once the rider was mounted. I suspect there was a change in fitting in between - "do as I say, not as I do".
