That's my point. If you're designing a suit that should stop yourself from being electrocuted it sounds weird saying that copper has "excellent" conductivity, it's not really excellent in the context you're talking about.

"Copper has excellent conductivity therefore it wouldn't be a great material to make a suit out of if you want to stop yourself from being electrocuted... You'd want a material that was an excellent insulator!"
As I've said, it sounds weird to me but apparently not to you so let's leave it at that.
