Incorrect, electricity will ALWAYS TAKE EVERY PATH. I circuit with multiple resistance will all receive current. That is simple electronics.

Uh, no. Not when it comes to a spark jumping a gap.
If your theory was correct, a 4 electrode spark plug would have 4 weaker sparks jumping to each electrode instead of 1 strong spark going to 1 of the 4 electrodes (whichever one is easiest).

Ive used about every plug Mfr out there & the only benefit Ive seen to the Plats was better starting in an older built EVO motor. My 14 SGS has NGK regular plugs in it & runs fine. If your electrical's , wires, coils, etc, are in good condition, I dont think it matters.

Id put in the NGK Plats & not worry about it.

Opinions will differ....
