I agree with your colleague Alan, but I venture he may have meant 'correctly designed joints don't come undone'.
Correctly tightened, proper quality nuts and bolts only come undone if there is slip between the joint faces, or compression of the joint - both of which point to a basic design flaw in the joint itself.
And yes, an axial hammering at 100 cycles per second can remove any nut, self-locking or otherwise, in a jiffy - just like an impact driver.
