The Muir method is called static timing.  It is not as good as 
dynamic timing just because it is only approximately correct.  The 
timing can only be set really accurately if you set is while the 
engine is under normal operating conditions, which means while it's 
running.  On the other hand, it is usually close enough.

Perhaps the best thing about dynamic timing is that you can verify 
that all the advance mechanisms are working correctly at the same 
time.
