Maybe so, however the question was about adding radials. There is 
definitely more benefit from adding radials to a vertical antenna system 
than just improved lightning protection. Perhaps no reduction in 
received noise, likely an increase in both received signals and noise, 
and almost certainly a transmitting efficiency improvement. Of course 
this depends on the existing system you are adding radials to.
