Would you mind explaining exactly how a solder connection fails "under high
load conditions" If a wire gets hot enough to melt solder then that circuit
is greatly overloaded and the fuse should have failed long before reaching
that point.

I agree. The crimp is for a solid mechanical connection. The solder
gives a good electrical connection and resists corrosion.


wrong. solder connections fail under high load conditions.

CRIMP for current, solder for corrosion resistence. In that order.
