Steve, I agree that your assessment makes sense, although you would be surprised at some of the breadboarding techniques I have seen over the years. We had one fellow (X) who built prototypes by soldering a 3-dimensional haystack of parts onto a tin sheet. (His soldering was good, not cold joints.) Once it worked, he would unsolder all the ground connections from the tin sheet and put the haystack in the cupboard above his bench. These were known in the lab as "(X) piles."
