I think that if you decrease resistance by soldering another resistor (or Cu wire) in parallel you are raising the OCP threshold. OCP won't kick in until much higher current flows. If you get the right value resistor in there you can raise OCP, but still allow some level of protection (probably a good thing). Just soldering a Cu wire or using a conductive pen will raise the OCP threshold to a level where you probably will never have to worry about it anymore.

Removing the resistor completely removes OCP.

Both end up giving you the same result, but do it in different ways.

This is what I've gathered from all my readings on here and other forums as well some PMs w/ some very knowledgeable people. I also have a B.S. in Computer Engineering.

I don't know this to be fact, but it seems to make sense. In any case take it w/ a grain of salt.
