WOT is indeed wide open throttle (sorry).
Not arguing with the specifications; simply reporting on trouble calls that we receive daily.
I will certain concur about the well-grounded engine. We have solved many "starting issues" by simply connecting a jumper cable from the ground side of the battery to a head bolt! Lots of enthusiasts paint everything for looks, and forget that paint is a poor conductor of electricity.
It might also be pointed out that the world lived for many centuries without the need for cell phones. They were invented to call the tow-trucks when electronic ignitions failed!
