Yes, published data indicates that even at a gold thickness of 10 microinches
you'd have much less than 1% Au in the solder joint.

Isn't it true that with gold flash your thickness of gold, usually
less than 10 microinches, is such a small amount of gold that you
would never get a 3% to 5% gold concentration in your solderjoint thus
making gold embrittlement not an issue.
