Well, yes.  But I'd argue that considering that multi-electrode plugs
didn't even exist yet when the Vanagon's engine was designed, its
ignition system must have been designed to work okay with conventional
plugs.

To some extent I regard the multiple-electrode plugs as a scam; the
spark will ionize the path of least resistance and all the current will
go through that path.  It will never fork to multiple electrodes the way
the Splitfire ads show it.
