Larry, I understand how it would decrease wear on the threads. W\But, by tightening the nut, wouldn’t that increase the force needed for the thimble of the control cable to slide around under the washer? It would seem that the force to move the control would therefore increase.

Was the bolt worn? I tried to make it a habit on annual inspection to rotate any bolt that was capable of rotation such as in control cable connections. I would give each a 1/4 turn to cut the wear rate by a factor of 4. Larry Flesner
