What's with that?! Trying to help us save money by avoiding extra plating!?Ok. To be serious, I fully agree with your logic. Silver plating would act like a series resistance to the contact. And since silver is not some crazy negative resistance, it could only add to total contact resistance and leave you with a worse connection. I've never been a fan of silver plating to begin with, and this only pushes me further away.
Thanks for that eye opening, forehead smacking perspective.
