It's important from a safety perspective. But the _normal_ operation of
any electrical device should not depend on the presense of a ground. If a
device is leaking current to ground, something is wrong with it (e.g., it
would trip a GFI breaker). An improperly wired ground could cause problems
for the operator of a device if there's a potential difference between
ground and neutral. But that's a separate world of hurt.
