lol
when it's easy
I did some military and space soldering. They don't send anything into space crimped.

I was an Air Force wrench on F-16's. You will NOT find a soldered joint on any military or commercial aircraft. Corrosion issue. That was second thing I was taught. Don't pull the ejection seat handle in the hanger was the first thing.

Yes, you are correct. The point between the solder joint and wire becomes a hinge point. And as we know, aircraft flex quite a bit in flight. If everyone knew how much many would probably not even get on an airplane, lol.
