Meh. Alien d00d has already given himself an out - he's never going to post any results of his no-doubt brilliant plan to deactivate several cylinders without also deactivating said cylinders' valves. He can't state how his wonderfully crafted plan will somehow be different than all of the other failed attempts to cut fuel and/or spark from cylinders to achieve the same thing that he wants to do.

Oh, well.
