OK, Mr. Smarty Pants, why does the quality of the conductor make any difference? Operators are standing by. Are we now to consider wire directionality a dead donkey? And what about skin effect? Another dead donk, I suppose? Furthermore, if the EM wave travels in the space between the wires it would be traveling in air, so it’s velocity would be nearly 100% the velocity of light in a vacuum, as I already said.
