The loose connection will oxidize and then overheat. Where I used to
work they did an inspection to make sure that no plugs had stranded
wire that had been soldered. They missed a couple of power cords, but
the problem showed up a year or so later.

Exactly right. Solder is a no-no for any high ampacity connection.
