How about using an artificial ground at the measurement point?

Define one, if you can! What are its properties, and how would you
achieve them?

It's rather like the early wireless users who "earthed" their receivers
to the aspidistra pot in the corner of the room - after all, it
contained earth, so why didn't it work?
