good conductor, in a path along that conductor, it will be very small.

True for DC and RF traveling waves. Not true for standing waves. A
1/2WL dipole is a *standing-wave* antenna. What do you get when you
measure the voltage between the voltage maximum and voltage minimum
on a feedline with a 10:1 SWR? Exactly the same principle applies
to *standing-wave* antennas.
