I want to know the answer to the following question:
What force might damage a PCB if large components are surface mounted?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Once surface-mounting came into use, small-sized SMD components were used where possible, with through-hole mounting only of components unsuitably large for surface-mounting due to power requirements or mechanical limitations, or subject to mechanical stress which might damage the PCB.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
