Depends on who's judging the debate, Mark.

Your mention of your education/degree brought back some old memories for
me. I seemed to recall that I had learned that *GOLD* did not have the
lowest intrinsic resistance ...

I opened up one of my old school books [Grob|Third Edition "Basic
Electronics"]
- and found table 9*3 (p.212) Properties of Conducting Materials,
specific resistance(s) @20C, CMIL.Ohm/ft (that's circular mils)

(lower is better, except maybe for Mark's Community College)

Gold - 14
Copper - 10.4
Silver - 9.8

Wipe the egg off your face, if/when you get a gripe on reality. Copper
& Silver connects would have LESS of your precious contact resistance.

Got that, baby-cakes?
