A plug-in protector promoter only had to provide manufacturer spec
numbers that list each type of surge and protection from that surge.
He cannot do that because - as even his NIST and IEEE citations state
- the protector needs that short connection to earth ground. Since it
has no dedicated earthing wire, then better is not answer the question
- provide no specs. That is how myths become lies.

How curious, after being asked maybe 300 times for spec numbers, the
promoter of half truths still provides nothing. He cannot. Every
responsible source says a protector works by earthing. *Diverting* a
surge to earth ground. No earth ground means no effective
protection. So a troll goes everywhere challenging reality and lying
to others. Profits are at risk. Bud must post myths and personal
attacks incessantly.

A protector is only as effective as its earth ground as numerous
IEEE Standards, et al, state - bluntly.
