Looking forward to an interesting discussion.

TOTALLY AGREE!
lightning prevention versus lightning damage minimization expecting to be hit.
Lightning rods are great if the structure is a high probable target, not so much with very low probability targets. . . Low probability should have lightning strike prevention, not lightning strike damage minimization. .
then I am willing to listen and act
