Yes, useless. The tiny air gap left when a GPO switch is opened is quite
useless for the near end results of a spark many hundreds of metres long.
Agree about the "if you are at home" bit though. In high risk areas (eg
Florida) many computer users routinely unplug when going out.

Absolute rubbish! Fusion is defined as the burning out of the windings of an
electric motor and has nothing whatsoever to do with lightning.

Yes. Direct copper connection is obviously worse, and so switching off does
improve protection. But the GPO air gap (typically 1-2 mm) for 240V is still
far too small for a direct lightning strike (already perhaps 5 km).
