If the connection is crimped first, you have it correct. Additional
soldering will create the stress concentration, which can fail slowly
through minute cracks creating a resistive connection, which allows more and
more circuit voltage to drop accross the joint. This heats the joint, and
creates enbrittlement of the joint and wire and so on. This is not rocket
science folks. It is common sense.

Would you mind explaining exactly how a solder connection fails "under
high
load conditions"

when the connection is soldered it lacks mechanical integrity. solder is
soft
and any chance of movement -- any, even walking on a floor near the
equipment
in a building -- loosens the connection until it eventualy fails. Even if
after soldering the connection is clamped TIGHTLY with a mechanical clamp
it
eventually fails.

If the connection is FIRST clamped TIGHTLY mechanically and _then_
soldered for
corrosion protection all if right and holy.
