Default Surprises about electrical conductivity

In article , spaco says...

Tin =14.39 !!! Lead and tin are the main constituents of most soft
solders. If you ever needed a case for making a good mechanical joint
before soldering, there it is!


Make a joint that is well-wrapped mechanically. Measure it's
resistance. Then solder it.

I bet you a case of cokes that it's lower resistance once
it's soldered.

Then make the joint, without wrapping it first, only soldering.
I bet another case of cokes the two soldered joints will have
the same resistance.
