That is a good impression, Mike. I used to watch
the guys at the surplus house get the surface mounted
parts off boards by flexing the board. They didn't
even need to get their soldering irons warm.
However, properly mounted PCBs do not vibrate as much with SMT as they
do with the heavier leaded components. I believe it's a net win if the
PCB is made stiff enough. The chief win is getting resonances out of
the range you get within a given vehicle.
