If it's true the Plastic CD builds up an electric static charge whilst spinning why wouldn't the static charge return rather rapidly after the disc has been neutralized before play?

Good point and I am sure that this probably happens so that the end of the disc is no longer as effectively treated. And, of course, when making comparisons people will be comparing from the start of the disc or from an individual tack i.e. before the effect is compromised.
This is why, when I was seemingly most affected by this issue, I used a static neutralising fluid which dries on the label side and seems good for a number of plays. BTW the best liquid for this is Teepol industrial detergent , for which a few dollars ( or pounds in my case) will get you enough for a lifetime of CD static neutralising ( and probably for your friends too). It comes in 5L packs for around 8.50 GBP or , with the pound's dive, that'll be around $9 (if not now check later in the week)! Nordost do a liquid for around 30-40 USD for something like 25CL in a pump spray. Strangely Teepol and the Nordost product have identical smells. I'll say no more.
BTW, your criticism also seems valid to me for the Zerostat's original purpose of treating LPs.
I use industrial long lasting anti static spray on CDs, cables and carpets. The theory why a static charge is unwelcome on interconnects seems a little vague, however. ;-)
