That's because you didn't bother to read up on what these guys are talking about.

Humbuckers are basically something like 2 single coils run in series (i.e. the signal runs through one coil and then the other). This gives the most powerful output and is the default way humbuckers are wired.

But the 2 coils in humbuckers can also be run in parallel (i.e. signal is run into both coils at the same time and their output is then summed). This gives it a clearer and more open sound but at reduced output.

I think coil tap refers to where you have a single coil and a humbucker and you engage the single coil + one coil of the humbucker, usually in parallel but series also possible, to achieve that strat position 2 sound.

I'm not sure about coil splitting. Does it mean running a humbucker in parallel or activating only one of the coils on a humbucker?

I hope you did physics/electronic circuits in high school. =p
