The overall point of the original posting is quite accurate - the
resistance reduces the generation of EMI (electromagnetic interference).
More of a problem in the days of AM radios :-)

BUT...
Check your plug wires first.

The rule is you should use resistor wires, OR resistor plugs,
but not both. So if you have installed resistor wires at some point,
then resistor plugs are redundant and contraindicated.
