The correct place for firing to occur is 10-20 degrees ATDC, variances in the flame front speed will cause the ignition event to be at a different BTDC time so the firing occurs in the range listed.
Pre ignition is caused by hot spots in the cylinder, no disputes.
There is a lot of talk about causes of detonation, and it is a vague term.
I stand by my statement that detonation is due to excess fuel, either due to over fueling or poor homogenization, as it is caused when the flame front hits excess unburned fuel. The speed of the flame front varies due to cylinder pressure, AFR and fuel quality. Flame front speed will increase with compression. Fuel and the oxygenation of said fuel varies the flame front speed. I am searching for the AFR effects on the flame speed and welcome discussion.
The sound of detonation and preignition are basically the same, but preignition causes more damage due to the push back on the piston as the crank is moving it up.
Here is a good article on the theory of combustion in a cylinder.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
