Very true, in fact truer than you think ! In my post above I make the mistake of calling my lighter torque wrench 0-20Nm - it is in fact a 5-20Nm.
4Nm is pretty light stuff, once you have torqued a few bolts to 5Nm-10Nm you can get a feel as to what 4Nm and less should be.
4Nm is hand tight, just tighten up with a small alan key without any real force, just snug it up so it is tight.
