Actually, the 'lay down of the power' was 'stolen' and was described a bit differently in an article I read a few years ago. It was referring to how the new (at that time) MC cross-plane racing engines had an advantage at the track in powering through the corners without breaking the tires loose as each power pulse to the rear tire was 'smaller/more evenly distributed over (1) complete engine power cycle than comparably powered 2 cylinder bikes.
In a manner of speaking, the same overall HP/TQ was transferred to the road with less chance of the tires breaking loose as the smaller/more frequent power pulses put less strain on the tires,,
