Philosophical issue there. If the field is really static, what changed
to cause the spark to happen when it did, rather than at some other
time? (A cosmic ray would breach the stasis.)

Hi Ed and Ken,
An ESD event can be produced without any direct addition of charge. It
only takes an E field and two conductors near each other as in:

Unobserved discharge not needed and generally is not involved with
these type of events. Just a static E field will induce a spark.
