I throw many plates in a year and none of them crack, even through I only lightly compress. So I think, that the tendency to crack is a lot to do with the type of clay.
compression is only part of the reason it cracks. plates made by machines compress hundreds of pounds per square inch, and that's why they can be so flat. a man made plate needs a ever so slight curve for it not to crack

the cracking also has to do with airbubbles in the clay which come from bad wedging
