The TI paper on Page 5 talks about the factor of 50.  Their volumetric
calculations
indicate that you would need 7570 angstroms thickness (30 microinches)
to reach 3%
in the solder connection, and the max gold thickness for this process is
specified
at 150A.
 
About ENIG, you're right, there are plenty of people who are unhappy
with it, but how
many of the complaints are about gold embrittlement?

        Hi Joe, It was the argument you advance: "Now the gold flash on
nickel/palladium/gold is only 30 to 150 angstroms thick, which is way
below the level where you'd have to worry about gold embrittlement in
the bulk solder (like by a factor of 50)" that led to the exemption of
ENIG. 
        On the other hand , where to you get the factor of 50 from? It
also presumes that yopu are happy with ENIG--not everybody is.
