That's theoretically possible, but it's a rather arcane esoteric value for people to adjust, and it is easy to adjust it improperly if you do not fully understand what it is controlling.

Things tend to behave really strangely if it is too loose, you end up with kind of saggy intersections.

Well, part of the update is that if it failed or if there are naked edges in the result when there were none in the inputs, it will repeat the boolean again with an automatically tightened tolerance. It will go through that cycle a few times.
