Default Resistance variation with thickness

What I believe Norm is questioning/proposing is that the wire may have
been made more "dense" by being compressed without lengthening, and
that would probably decrease its resistance.


IMHO, if the wire is squashed it will defin8itely get work hardened
and this will mean an increase in resistivity
