EVERYTHING has electrical properties. That's what all the dielectric stuff is about. Just a matter of what the properties are and to what degree under what circumstances.Static hits even the non-metallic areas of your room and rig. Static can be conducted away, though I'm not sure that "grounding" is the specific term to use there.
Ordinary electrical currents and microcurrents are flowing throughout your rig and any metal (or conductive material like carbon fiber for example) that it touches, right back to your entire AC system. I think that grounding here is the operative principle you may be experiencing.
But the thing Al Sekela taught me that he posts about regularly is RFI, which is soooooooo present in our modern buildings all over the place. Any metal - wire, mesh, plate, coating/plating, etc. - can be both a transmitting or receiving point. Your metal Lovan's are a pretty big potential antenna from that perspective. And you can work on that too and I suppose grounding might be in order in some situations.
Now I'm no physicist, but all of the above is pretty clear from electrical theory. The real issue is whether the tweak you discover is operating on the theory you chose to focus on, rather than on some other phenomenon. It's got enough theoretical probability and practical experience that it's probably NOT in your head (which also operates on electrochemical principles... LOL)
