That statement really intrigues and puzzles me. It seems quite different than other commentaries that I am familiar with.
So,...
Why does this line have the abiity to improve itself ? AND ESPECIALLY
How can it become the source of Thunder???
A sharp metallic point will produce large potential gradients near its tip, perhaps creating a corona discharge that sucks electrons out of the surrounding air molecules to neutralize the positive charge. Such a lightning arrester can discharge the surrounding area if it is properly grounded, reducing the general electric field in the vicinity. It can also be a good place to begin a positive streamer upwards to meet a lightning leader, so it is best for it to be well-grounded. A lightning discharge will create large earth currents in the immediate neighborhood, which actually do most of the damage.
