It does give that impression... as long as you have a broken fog pattern (no connection between droplets therefore no path to ground) it's all good. There was some manufacturer years ago that made an "electrically approved" nozzle that used a deflector in the nozzle to produce a safe pattern. A couple years later they were in court because the deflector commonly shot out of the thing which resulted in a straight stream of water, which may as well be using an inch and a half copper rod to poke at it.
