True, I was just comparing the two to highlight the fact that they are polar opposites. Timing is also controlled in a diesel not necessarily by fuel properties, but by injection timing.
I know that you knew the difference, but I have seen several people refer to octane and cetane as being analogous and wanted to dispel any confusion...
