Gimmicky spark plugs have been around nearly as long as spark plugs themselves. They come and go.....

Interesting, I too would like to see some dyno test results. I'd also like to see an actual open test video showing the spark pattern they claim instead of the computer animation demo. I didn't go too deep but I would also like to see some test references other than "government agencies" and "academic partners" they claim to have done tests with.
I dunno, it may be a great plug. There are just tons of false entrepeneurs out there who drum up nice demonstrations of seemingly wonderful technological marvels with well written smart presentations only devised to take in investors cash for the further advancement that never happens.
Like I said, They may be great. Who knows?

The way the L98/LT1/LT4 head presents the spark plug to the combustion chamber at an acute angle, you stand the best chance of exposing the spark kernel to the mixture by using regular old conventional style single ground strap (single "L" shaped ground electrode) spark plug designs.
The gimmicky plugs with multiple ground straps jsut increase the chance of shrouding the spark kernel from the mixture with one of the extra ground straps being in the way.
Now for a head design where the spark plug is presented to the chamber pointing straight down and not angled, the multiple electrode plug designs like the E3 or the Bosch +4, etc., might offer some benefit of better exposure of the spark kernel to the mixture. But not in our cars.
