I think it's probably assumed in this discussion but, generally, we're
talking about stranded wires and not solid, right?

Electricity conducts primarily on the outer surface of a wire.  Since
stranded wires have greater total cross section and hence more surface area
than an equivalent sized solid wire they will conduct better.  Plus, of
course, it's more flexible and easier to solder or crimp.
