I've seen a recommendation for having a resistor in line between the shorting screwdriver and ground. Thoughts?

I've seen that recommendation too. I made me a grounding probe using a resistor but most times I just use just a test lead to a screwdriver.

I'd believe this applies more with discharging electrolytics.
