So it's not the Amps that get you, but the Coulombs? Or is it the Joules?

Lethality of electricity is multi-dimensional, trying to reduce it to a single quantity does not really work (exposure time and electrical frequency are very important).

neither. even a shortcut saying like "total energy delivered" is not accurate, because it depends on how it is delivered and how it dissipates.

Sounds a bit like fuse wire (except the frequency dependence)... There's both a current and a time component. High overloads can be tolerated for a very short time without blowing the fuse, while low overloads can be sustained for longer before the fuse reaches its maximum temperature and breaks.
