Ben Franklin promoted lightning rods to protect people and houses before
electronics was. These rods would not have sold had they not seemed to
work. Tell me a drowning man will grasp at straws!

Franklin, defying the gods, performed his kite flying experiment in
June of 1752, and by late June or July, the first "lightning rods"
were installed on structures in Philadelphia. Ol' Ben kinda made up
his own "nec code".
