From the guide (page 19):
A very important point to keep in mind is that your surge

The best surge protection in the world can be useless if
grounding is not done properly.

Reality must be avoided when plug-in protectors are promoted.

Note that the alleged expert here doesn't name the guide he's
talking about or provide a link. That' because if it's the IEEE
or NIST guides, they endorse using plug-in protectors, show them
being used, etc.
