I'm not going to re-argue this one or succomb to mythology. I spent too many hours in graduate metallurgy and engineering classes and too many years practicing.
Go to any mechanical design source book on axles/drives and it will describe the functions of a keyway, shaft, etc.
There's also plenty of good resources on torqueing, wet vs dry (and galling). This wasn't thought of/studied much before they went to aluminum castings and studs were stripping wholesale at dry torque specs.
