Is there any evidence that the currents from top of a secondary to the top
terminal of whatever capacitance a user has will be any different than the
ground current from bottom of the secondary to earth? I'd normally say of
course they have to match, but who knows, maybe there is interesting
capacitive coupling between the secondary coil itself and the top terminal
resulting in currents that never have to even flow through the coil's
ground.
