When you're using a PCB, though, you have a large flat plane for the solder to deal
with. If you're doing point-to-point and you don't make a
good mechanical connection, then it is likely that you won't have much solder to stick
it together with. A good mechanical connection also gives you
more surface area for the solder joint.
