I KNOW that, I was merely pointing out that there are FOUR paths to ground,
so there is a better chance that the plug will fire on any one of the four.
This is better than one of three or one of one. The likelihood to have a
misfire is greatly reduced and increases in power because all the plugs fire.

I have already posted this, was not clear?
