From a marketing standpoint, If I looked at purchasing product A or B, factors such as quality and effectiveness plays heavy role in the decisionmaking process. I could purchase product A because it is much more effective in its purpose; however, after reading the label on product B, I change my mind and purchase product B instead. So why would I purchase product B knowing that product A is the most effective? What product B did was promote their quality while at the same time indirectly attack products A, C, D, & F with false or misconstrued claims about their effectiveness and quality.
What's overlooked is that stock spark plug wires are intentionally designed with a significant amount of resistance to reduce RFI/EMI emmissions. Any uncontrolled RFI/EMI radiation will cause such running problems they have mentioned, not just solid core wires. Yes, our wires have a solid stainless steel inner core surrounded by a spirally wound silver-plated copper outter core; HOWEVER, our wires emit less RFI/EMI resistance than even the stock wires. This is done by our patented RFI/EMI protection ring on our wires. These protection rings prevent any interference that would cause such running problems presented in that excerpt.

The objective of high performance wires is about creating a stronger spark, not a hotter one. There is no direct relationship between spark temperature and spark voltage. If you create a hotter spark, you are only increasing the chances of pre-ignition, engine knock, and damage to the pistons or crank.
