When I first started shooting a flintlock, I thought you were supposed to hold the gun and shake it a bit so that the priming powder would get into the touchhole.
I never had a problem with misfires.
When a coworker who did the flint thing regularly told me that I wasn't supposed to do that, I thought I noticed a little faster ignition...
But I also would have the occasional misfire...
