I'm curious to read the explanation for this. I've read some weird theories about the reference air being measured through the wire strands hence needing to be not soldered but crimped to preserve wire strands.

But I've also read that this is kind of urban legend. And the O2 sensor wire is soldered inside the ECU anyway.

So, BS or real technical justification?
