If we talk about 1k Ohm, the HBM model has intrinsic 4k,
so that series resistor won't do much about the ESD current.
A low impedance discharge path is an apropriate way to
avoid to high potential differences due to static discharge current
(about 3...4 A).

We assume 100k as foolproof series resistance, ie. we do not
look into circuits behind such a resistor.
