What is obvious to you is not true at all. I am actively considering a system as soon as we have our roof replaced. The difference is, aI will make my decision based on facts and statistics and not because someone can recommend an installer.

Want to throw out as a fact that 17 homes with LPS have been hit by lightning with little damage? Okay, then explain to me why, with an observed ratio of 1:20 LPS to unprotected, there haven’t been over 300 homes burned to the ground in the same period. Either LPS homes are being hit disproportionately or non-LPS homes are being hit with no damage. Either way the statistics give me something to consider before giving up the next cruise (are they really that inexpensive?).

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
