Gave us:

The question I asked was for a single tinned stranded wire in a pressure
connection.


Stranded wire in a pressure connection cannot be soldered.

I am not doubting you, but can you give a reference for that?
(I always crimp fitting on stranded, but was unaware of this
prohibition...)

It goes back to depending on the solder for the connection. The solder is
holding the shape of the bundled strands. If it gets hot, it gets loose. You
are depending on the solder to hold the pressure of the connector.
