It would be hard to believe that a lightning bolt could do structural damage yet not glitch any of the electronics on-board. That's somewhat of a reversal of typical lightning strikes.

Lightening can do some VERY strange stuff--but we don't know that it DIDN'T glitch some of the electronics. It may be that such a glitch is why NASA is focussing in this direction. WAY too early to draw conclusions
