My guess is that there is more problem solving/thinking involved with chasing down a bad ground than say an oil change, valve adjustment, or other routine maintenance procedure.
I would have taken the car to my Lotus guy but I was cognizant not to overload him with work at his small shop which I realize now was a mistake. He would have had this knocked out pretty quickly.
