There is only one problem with this suggestion, and I see this problem on some car every other day at the smog repair shop. The boots break down and leak spark to ground more than the wires themselves. This is due to the nature of the boot.

They are down in a hole, surrounded by metal, and exposed to a very lot of heat. The boots going bad IS the main reason we have misfires, and have to change plug wires.
