The best evidence you could look for would be examples of protected houses being damaged by lightning. Have there been examples of homes with an LPS being damaged?
It still would be valid to suggest that maybe no homes with LPS were damaged because none were hit. But over time as more and more homes are damaged, it would statistically significant if none of those homes had an LPS system.
