You're always wrong, AlwaysWrong.
No, I was not an IBM Fellow. Just a design engineer. Idiot!
You're still AlwaysWrong.
It can make all the Johnson noise it wants to, I'd have a perfect business model for those and would soon retire on my own island, including landing strip and private jet :-)

It is a modern world, child. GOLD IS the "proper way", dufus.
Even my motherboards use it, and now you are going to tell me it costs so much more? If it did, they would not be doing it.
Purely imaginary, of course. ;)

Unless you are in Rock Ridge. There is a huge amount of Johnson noise there, regardless of the resistance value. :-)
The line was designed and set up by experts. And it's operated by experts. We prefer a few microinches of flat gold than some random number of mils of bumpy, crufty, tarnished ROHS solder.
750 pin BGAs, and lots of other things, solder better to planar, gold pads.
Mhos are cheaper and work just as well.

.. and if you have 50 Ohms and -50 Ohms in series, I'd bet that not many simulators get the noise right thanks to node collapsing?

Except that they aren't ROHS.

Siemens may be, but they might not meet with biohazard safety rules.

You are such a trip... lol
According to politicians and federal bankers there would be no node collapse as this would still total about +32 ohms. Or over +60ohms in Greece :-)
No it doesn't. One of the very big contract manufacturers in the UK prefers to use bare copper with a protective organic coating for lead-free. They have no problems with this.
Too much gold is a bad thing, as it forms a brittle inter-metallic compound with tin which can reduce the reliability of the solder joint.
See for example

Are you sure you haven't got that backwards?

Check this out. I found an online calculator to help convert between the two. Pretty cool, eh?
Opps, forgot the link...
all the coatings have pros and cons

the two. Pretty cool, eh?
Now that's handy! Now if they only had a calculator for going the other way...
