True, around 0.015A to be more precise.

And I'm not saying it is justified, but I think if people start feeling the voltage, they will make more sudden movements in response. I can start feeling it on my figertips at around 30V. It's not enough to jerk my hand away, but other people might. especially if they are already nervous about it (which causes sweating, which lowers your resistance, which creates more current flow, which causes more sweating, etc...).

Also, for a given wire resistance, you get a lot more potential current with higher voltages than with low when shorted.

Yeah, it's reaching, but I can't think of any other reason for the limit.
