Given a really good fet or sampling probe, and a decent logic signal,
you don't need a probe ground and you only need to get near the
signal.

But there are too many really tiny, or leadless, parts around these
days. People save space by using microscopic parts, and then add
enough test points to pave over the area.

A sewing needle is a good probe. It sticks to where you poke it.
