Generally true, Roger, but *time* is as important a variable as well. To
cook anything well done takes substantial energy and that's a function of
current, voltage and time. The point of the story was that the effect was
immediate, the current flow brief, and the surface was still burned.

I don't volunteer to try recreating the experiment though!
