But what if cleaning the end caps of the fuse and the corresponding contacts of the fuse holder made a difference?

I think there would need to be enough accumulated crud to raise resistance to a level where it was significant - that's a lot of crud required.
A good analogy would be spending a couple of hours cleaning the car inside and out, then going for a drive and enjoying it more because the car is spotless. But the actual performance metrics have not changed from when it was a shit-tip.

Yeah but polishing the car makes it goes faster as there is less wind resistance !

And clearing out all the MacDonald's wrappers and empty cans of red bull reduces weight.Yeah but polishing the car makes it goes faster as there is less wind resistance !
