Reason for no dispatch with 2 winglets missing

I was told that the reason you cannot dispatch with both winglets missing, on the 744 at least, was that it was due to the decrease in static wick dischargers. I can't verify that but it was from a colleague who is good on this sort of thing.

Anyone confirm or deny?
