While true and it will work. What happens when one of those high current grounds goes away and everything tries to go down the new wire one you added. Poof. Instant smoke. I use to have a demonstration of what could happen if you grounded the distributor to the battery instead of the engine block. Then disconnect the negative battery cable simulating a dirty battery cable. Now crank the starter. Instant smoke. I am just trying to prevent future problems for someone If / when one of those cross connect jumpers degrades and looses contact which is not unusual.
