My point was that if it gets past the point where it's going to keep
running, just leave it off. A quick flick of the switch to OFF and back ON
it
will certainly quit firing and lose a few rpm, but it won't die. I've been
doing these as long as I've been flying (the 70s) and I think it's
important to know the mags aren't hot. It's part of my shut down.
You should simply use any method you feel comfortable with to
check the P leads.

It WILL start to shudder and die if you turn it off, unless there's a
bad P-lead connection or mag switch. You want it back on so you can
shut the engine off with mixture, not ignition.
