"The problem is that solder will melt with just a few amps of current passing
through it."

That simply isn't true.

Yes the
NEC permits soldering but unless you are extremely competent at it its
a bad idea. [more nonsense snipped]

That isn't true either. If a soldered joint can be "ripped apart" as you
described, then it wasn't properly mechanically secured -- which means the
joint wasn't any good *before* it was soldered.
