MSD 6C and detonation

Other factors being equal, an increased burn rate is less likely to detonate, not more likely.

From 'Engine Basics: Detonation and Pre-Ignition, ways to reduce detonation:

Another thing you can do is increase the burn rate of the combustion chamber. That is why with modem engines you hear about fast burn chambers or quick burn chambers. The goal is the faster you can make the chamber burn, the more tolerant to detonation it is. It is a very simple phenomenon, the faster it burns, the quicker the burn is completed, the less time the end gas has to detonate. If it can't sit there and soak up heat and have the pressure act upon it, it can't detonate.

I don't pretend to say I understand all the physics of the air pump known as the internal combustion engine, but some things make sense. If the MSD is 'better' in regard to combustion and flame propagation, why would it not tend LESS toward detonation?

I don't know Mr. Cline, I'm not vouching for his statement, but offer it simply for consideration. What he says does make sense, no?
