That is really good advice, Greg, and something that is easy to overlook or think unnecessary when soldering.
You think to yourself that you're melting things, and that the solder will fill in, but that's just not always the case. The parts need to be basically attached as if you were not going to solder them, but were relying on the mechanical attachment.
I think you still need to be very careful and not be knocking around, but this will help with the normal tiny movements that the person soldering might make.
