Sure, just start the engine

TL;DR: Newbie (somehow) drops a ~pea-sizedchunk of porcelain from spark plug into cylinder, cannot tell if it was vacuumed out or not, and after even suggesting firing up the engine, some people tell him to go for it. WTF.

Some of the questions and answers make it apparent how little people know about engines, never mind materials.

What I love is that it appears that no one suggested lowering the piston to the bottom of the stroke so he'd have better access. Also, apparently no one understands how vacuums work.

Right. I mean, I don't judge anyone for not knowing. I judge them for offering "guidance" on the matter.

Miata.net is a really odd place. Lots of people at the peak on the Dunning-Kruger curve
