FYI: A very well written and lucid article on this subject, and probably
one of those that Dave is referring to, is:

"There Is No Magic To Lightning Protection:
Charge Transfer Systems Do Not Prevent Lightning Strikes"

William Rison
Professor of Electrical Engineering
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology

It should be available by simply searching the title.  Otherwise, I can
provide a copy.
