I think the guys are correlating the symptoms as presented to a common conclusion often repeated in the past. A coil overheated to the point of damage will fail but somewhat miraculously appear to temporarily heal itself when it cools down. Their suggestion is not conclusive but rather something to explore. With the new information that you have an oil pressure alarm that provides a reliable reminder to switch off the ignition when the engine is not running, the overheated coil possibility, although not entirely off the table, is less likely.
We don't even know for sure yet if the shut down was fuel or spark related.
