Does it really matter to a multi-million volt lightning strike whether
the ground is 300 ohms or five?  The difference would seem to be
inconsequential.

This reminds me of the school of thought that says the connection to
your ground rods must be tight.  As if lightning, having traveled
thousands of feet through the air, is going to be stopped by a gap of a
few thousands of an inch.
