running on a lower octane will not cause it to missfire, unless it had done damage from detonation etc

Running lower octane fuel will only cause the motor to Ping/Knock not to misfire unless there is water in the fuel

Sounds like a crock to me....and it should run on E10 (all ULP from next year will be E10 anyway).
