If you read you could solder to oxidized boards, the rest of the story may have referenced a certain OA flux or OA solder paste. 

The success rate of soldering to oxidized boards drops substantially when you switch to the less active No-Cleans. 

Then there is the reliability issue where it appears that the solder joint formed OK but if the board was tested in a HALT test system for stress/vibration you'd see the joint fracture way before 1000 cycles was reached.

Good question.... and when looking at an actual board, how is one to determine 
visually if we are looking at "staining" or "oxidation/corrosion"? Inquiring minds 
want to know. 
(many would say that even oxidized boards are solderable and acceptable. 
right? I think I just read that somewhere...)

>I have a question on IPC-4553, specifically, section 3.1 "Visual", and 
specifically regarding staining of immersion silver.  The text states "The 
coverage shall be complete and the finish shall be uniform on the surface to be 
plated (see Figures 3-1 through 3-5 for properties visually identified with IAg 
plated surfaces)"  Figure 3-1 shows 'Example of Uniform Plating", with no 
staining.  Figures 3-2 through 3-5 show staining.  Is this to imply (without text 
to support) that any staining of immersion silver is determined to be non- 
uniform and therefore a defect?
