You know on the SIMM and DIMM modules how it has those little snaps that hold the module in the socket? Why do you think those are there? Because power-on/off cycling causes thermal expansion/contraction and they'd crawl out of those sockets enough to make bad electrical contact. Talk to somebody who remembers the days when we had individual DIP RAM chips, generally socketed because back in the day they were expensive, so you didn't want them soldered on a board.
