Two questions:
1. Why isn't that wet toilet paper yellow? Maybe you should cut back on the water consumption, buddy.
2. Why is that wet toilet paper on a plate? EUUUWWWWWW.
One comment: Probably a pretty clever application, but hauling a roll of TP around in the back pack maybe not space-efficient. Unless we're talking about not hauling with but scavenging locally. No thanks, I'll go with something else first, like dried ruminant droppings.

Since my vision is not up to snuff, was Mason full of it or does it work? More importantly can it be used to make a real fire or will there be too little heat generated for further combustion?

The TP burned as you seen should be able to be blown into fire, I didn't take it any further, don't plan on using it as tinder just an experiment. |

One thing from my Scouting days of backcountry hiking, industrial TP was the paper towel of the trip. We used it for its primary function, drying cooking gear ( not in that order) and starting fires. We made sure we had plenty used it sparingly and always were within 3 days of resupply. In a SHTF situation you won't see me burning it except for disposal after it's primary use.
That is why we made mini buddy burners and wax/sawdust fire starters in egg cartons. Lots of opportunities for poorly skilled 11year olds to learn about starting with little sticks an ending up with split logs instead of making match fires that last 10 seconds.
