Yeah, maybe it needs a Hedberg-ism to get it across to people.

Electricity takes the path of least resistance. It takes the other paths, but it takes the least resistance path too.

I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.

I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

Every problem is a nail if you hammer it hard enough.

“Gee, this squishy skin-sack full of water sure has a lot of tasty electrolytes. Might as well use this as a conductor!”

This is so accurate. Try reading this without knowing what it is. It's impossible

What about this one?

It is still the path of least resistance but it created it itself. It ionizes the air creating a channel for it and then makes the leap, creating a conductive conduit of plasma/ions, as air currents move that around the path of least resistance can get progressively more nuts because there's still a path through the ionized air.

You might not like it, but this is what peak conductivity looks like

Dielectric breakdown, literally carving its own path of least resistance through the air.

Some clever person should figure out how to do this on purpose. Badass sky displays.
