Don't know if that is true or not.

Nope I seen it with my own eyes. one coil section could be bad indeed -that’s how I found out not to go cheap but get a good one (I think it was 80.00 at Napa) however you could just swap plug wires at the coil and and see if the misfire moves. In fact on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere Pa I figured it out. By doing that. (Also with engine running I got zapped pulling the coil wire off a known good section, then when I grabbed the suspect coil section wire (#3btw) I had no zap-lol
