I am sure you could find reference to it on the web
Sorry, but this is simply not true.
Just think about it...grounding the plug is doing the exact same thing as happens in the engine block.
Maybe you read it back in the 90’s when people were still afraid of computer controlled cars?

I agree, though: get a tester. It’s much easier.
