Good pick up there Bojan.
I used to work with Mil Specs and Standards, where the minimum number of coupling events for electrical connectors was specified before any changes to electrical and mechanical characteristics would become apparent due to contacts being abraded.
Not to mention loose flakes of plating floating around in-between densely packed conductors!
