[SI-LIST] What can we get from solid ground plane?

In papers, I often read "solid ground plane" concept. Some papers will treat it 
as reference node. 
 
As I know, ground plane could not be treated as "ideal ground" no matter how 
good/wide/thick it is. The assumption behind it could be different as I will 
present my understanding below.
 
From the view of EM modeling, this solid ground plane make "ground reduction 
method" effictive and accurate. "ground reduction" means fold ground plane RLCG 
into signal trace, thus ground plane could be treated as ideal ground. 
 
From design view, the benefit I could see for now, is that solid ground plane 
make each loop's mutual inductance minimal, thus minimize cross talk.
 
Any different ideas?
 
thanks,
Han
