Most people assume that because a spark is involved there must be a substantial current too,this is quite erroneous.The curents involved are only a fraction of a milliAmpere ! and resistance plug wire if correctly built works just as well as metallic wire,but cuts RF (radio frequency) noise greatly,as do resistor plugs.The problems occur because of poor connections to the coil or the plug,this causes internal arching which exacerbates the problem.Current leakage due to poor insulation is a major cause of ignition failure esp.under wet conditions with a marginal coil or CDI unit.HT engines in particular are plagued by ignition failures due to marginal design and shoddy constuction.
