This is actually what I see as part of the problem. People not caring enough to get a reasonable explanation for a condition.

Someone notices that EGTs were higher with a waste spark system than they are now with a distributor system. The rumor starts to spread that waste spark systems cause higher EGTs. No explanation given. Now everyone has a reason to condemn waste spark systems. Higher EGTs. That's it?

Without attempting to explore the reason for a change in a condition, you end up tying a product to the witches stake and setting it on fire, while newcomers in the gathering crowd are asking, "Why are you burning that?" The other person answers, "Heck, I don't know. Higher EGTs, I guess. Go ask him."
