Not a big gun, however, I do have an explanation.

If the solder mask comes off cleanly then the copper is usually solder coated
and you have an intact circuit.

If the solder mask cracks, it can serve as a trap for assembly process
chemicals and moisture and result in shorts between surface features on the board.
