My opinion (not a fact) is just the opposite.  The washer would create a 
longer path for heat to flow from the plug body to the cylinder.  You want a 
lower heat-resistant (shorter)  path from center electrode to the cyl...that 
is why a colder plug will have a shorter exposed (exposed to the hot 
combustion gas) center electrode insulator.
