This question is a variation on another question I asked recently.
Suppose you were in a box made from a perfectly insulating material, and a thunderstorm was raging all around you. Would the box offer you any protection from lightning strikes?
I think it would, because there would be no induced charge on the surface of the box and thus no 'reason' for lightning to hit it. Does this reasoning make sense?
