You're suggesting the ability to program timing retard at WOT as compared to the typical aircraft magneto's fixed compromise timing?
One of many conflations of spark generation with spark timing
con·fla·tion
/kənˈflāSH(ə)n
noun
the merging of two or more sets of information, texts, ideas, etc. into one.
Indeed. I was following (what I perceived as) Ross' lead off the stale "Hotter spark = higher HP" path and onto the real benefit of a "good" EI. "Good" in this context is one that can be configured to optimize the timing event for each engine.
So in my mind, no conflation here. It was a conscious abandonment of the original question.
