Fred, You point is well taken, but 0.010 is very fine and it is akin to soldering with a strand of hair. The biggest problem I have with solder that thin is that it is often not stiff enough which slows the soldering process down. I use my 0.010 only for SMD work and use 0.020 for most everything else. The 0.20 is a good compromise for me and I can work well with it.
