pulling off these connectors with needle nose pliers
.
I can see were a small amount of conductive coating could be beneficial. Would it not increase surface area contact? My concern with the above post is the need of pliers to remove connectors; not a fan of connections that tight.
As I understand it, when you look at a contact at the microscopic level, its surface is far from smooth and flat. (in fact, that's what Furutech addresses to some extent with their polishing process.) These contact enhancers are meant to fill in the "surface pitting" and increase the contact area as well as address some other electrical parameters that lower the noise floor.

Don't sniff the goo.
