Not only that, but you don't use dope on the flex line from the valve to the appliance.

You don't? What do you use then?

The threads on flare fittings and compression fittings are not there to act as a seal against leakage. They simply apply pressure against the connection to force it to seal properly. Using pipe dope on those is a waste of time and pipe dope.
