Why should that be a problem?  The problem discussed over there is not 
the static electricity at all, but only the sparks that are created when 
it discharges.  If there are no sparks (and the article we're discussing 
doesn't mention any) then the problem doesn't exist.  *Other* problems 
may or may not exist, but the discussion about sparks sheds no light on 
that.
