Why didn't you just stick to this comment rather than adding all the other inflammatory noise? Its odd why that is so important to you.

There are several chances in hell of plugging a tire with a worm plug with the tire on the car. Having the tire on the ground or locked with the brake, if off the ground, is pretty important. However, regardless of angle of attack, your body weight, shoulders minimum, needs to be into the plunge. You wont do it without that.

Plugging with wheel off the car is easiest but still can be hard depending on how the tire is made.
