Scorched spark plugs

so a light coat inside the boot is plenty to seal out air and moisture.

I don't think it's about sealing. It makes the boot easier to remove. Especially when the boot is near exhaust manifolds and/or headers. Hemi-style plug locations really doesn't need any IMO.

You’ve never pulled off a COP and seen a plug tip that looked like it came off the generator on the titanic lol. It was especially bad on the ford 3v trucks where there was no wheel well or underbody shield So the engine got soaked.

So you’re stating that the yellow highlights below are incorrect ?

My LOL is two fold:
1) Anyone that believes they can apply dielectric grease to both the inside of the boot and ceramic body without getting any on the end is a fool.
2) As stated in the video, from the SAE trained professional I cited, 30 years of use myself, and dielectric grease mfrs like Permatex.

My truck ran 200,000 miles on the original engine, trans, and rear end. Needed brakes 3 times and sway bar end links and that was it. It was a great truck I got for a steal because of the 3v fear.
