Yes, the current kills, but it must have some voltage present to do so. There are plenty of circumstaces that involve current but no voltage to ground> the neutral conductor for instance.
Current must also be available, for instance, electric fences do not supply enough current to kill, but plenty of voltage. Once again, you are correct in saying that it's the current that kills, but current alone, without voltage to ground, will not do anything.
The trasmission lines and transformers here would never qualify for "low voltage", I don't know what type of transmission you are referring to...
I'm not a professional debator, so forgive my lack of arguing skills.
Some questions for all to ponder:
What happens when one becomes parallel with a grounded conductor? What about in series (with a load)? How does this relate to Argile's point of view? Must there be, say, 50V present from one side to the other when the plumber removes the water meter and gets hit by the ground system?
Please, I am trying to see your point of view.
