The Wikipedia "entry" that you quote:

"The use of [Teflon] tape in tapered pipe threads performs a
lubricating
function, which more easily allows the threads to be screwed together,
to
the point of deformation, which is what creates the seal."

is wrong..........


Are you INSANE?

The Wikipedia entry is on the INTERNET, for God's sake! You can take it to
the bank! You can let your sister marry it! You can build a whole religion
around it!

Friggin' pagan!
