Can you elaborate more on this? Excuse my ignorance, but I would think a projected tip plug would be the 'marshmallow on a stick' analogy. What am I missing?

I stole this picture from another website but look at the difference between a non-projected and projected tip plug. The projected tip plug has the strap further away from the threads over the porcelain. What this does is not allow the heat to dissipate into the threads. This will cause the strap to burn off and damage the motor.
Not being an ***, but, your ignorance is not in not understanding the analogy. It is in not listening to and questioning the professional knowledge of a very respected and knowledgeable sponsor and one of if not the fastest nitrous LS car owner/ tuner/ driver around.
I'm not questioning anything and I'm certainly not questioning credentials. I'm trying to understand what he's saying and comprehend the visual representation of the marshmallow to which he is referring.
Well I will try and splain it for you. The non - projected is not representing a stick per se in his analogy. It represents the fact that if you roast a marshmallow with a stick in which your hand would be non- projected towards the fire then the heat will not burn your hand (the plug tip). If you run a projected tip ( or roast the marshmallow holding it in your hand) then you will put your hand close to the fire and burn it or in the case of the plug the projected tip will get hotter and burn it and possibly fall off and into your motor potentially causing damage to said motor. Now do you understand better what he was saying.
Didnt mean to confuse you, maybe this will help.
