Danger - 20000 Ohms?
A good friend and former business partner of mine and I sold our former biofuels company (our form of shrugging) right after reading Atlas Shrugged in 2008. His shrug job is ownership of a used computer and electronics shop. Imagine Sanford & Son for electronics.

There was a StreetCar Conductor in San Francisco. One day, a vagrant tried to sneak a ride and the conductor stopped him. A fight ensued and unfortunately, the vagrant struck his head and died. The DA filed charges and the Conductor was found guilty and sentenced to die in the electric chair.
On execution night, the Conductor requested a dozen bananas for his last meal. The conductor ate them and then willingly sat down in the electric and was strapped in. The warden pulled the switch and 20,000VAC ran through the Conductor as he sat there and laughed. Because of California law, you only have one chance at executing a prisoner, so the conductor was unstrapped and allowed to leave. While walking out, the warden said “what does eating all of those bananas have to do with the fact that we couldn’t electrocute you.” With a big smile the conductor said “the bananas don’t have anything to do with it. I’m just a bad Conductor.”
So the equivalent bromide might read: "It's not the impedance it's the conductance."
Sorry, it was funnier in my head.

Todays devices are so driven by software.Interpretation is so subjective. I have to find a 10 yr old to explain my telephone to me.
It was an amazing machine compared to the 10,000 sf mainframe (the first computer I used in person) which had 48k available memory for programs.
Voltage = Current * Resistance
Voltage is expressed in Volts (named after Alessandro Volta); Current is expressed in Amperes (named after André-Marie Ampère), and Resistance is expressed in Ohms (named after Georg Ohm).
Ohm's law is the basis of much of the EE curriculum. Most EEs use it daily in their work.
