w_ is just not too bright.

Stated many times - the IEEE guide says earthing occurs elsewhere, not 
primarily through a plug-in suppressor.  In the example in the IEEE 
guide (starting pdf page 40) where a surge comes in on the cable entry 
the guide says " the vast majority of the incoming lightning surge 
current flows through" the cable entry block `ground' wire. And the 
guide says that is "as the NEC/CEC writers intended."

Because plug-in suppressors do not work primarily by earthing they 
violate  w_'s religious belief in earthing and poor  w_  can't figure 
out how they work.
