My favorite example of this (and what brought "loose" to my attention) is my saxophone playing friend in the middle of a solo moved the mouthpiece a bit briskly from his face at a tacet, and the reed spun about 90 degrees off axis!
I asked how this happened and he said that he just brushed it carelessly with his mouth. He sets his ligature on there just to keep the reed from falling on the floor.
I (strongly suggest) just trying this out for yourselves. It is easy, immediate and free. Put your reed on the way you normally do, play for a few minutes, then loosen it up to the point where the tightening mechanism is just barely engaged (just about what it would be if you just slipped the ligature in place and did nothing further). You should hear a significant difference in sound. Of course if you don't then don't do it anymore.
