I find it odd that no one had noticed this before. But anyway...
When water in two beakers is exposed to a high voltage, a floating water bridge forms between the beakers. Credit: Elmar Fuchs, et al.

Hmm, surface tension and skin effect perhaps?

I would hope this test used completely pure water.
Even one grain of salt in a gallon of water will change it from an insulator into a conductor!

My thought exactly. There have some ions in there to be attracted and move.
Pure distilled water probably would not do it.

To measure the resistance (amount of contamination) of water, a person has to use ac as direct current gives reading that vary over time.

One more thought
Regarding your tag line.
It is very worthwhile to note that while San Jainto was a great victory, Santa Anna was defeated for ever by General Winfield Scott in Mexico City. The combined arms invasion of the Yucatan and campaign overland involving the US Army, Navy and Marines is remembered today as “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli”
If history is a guide, the capital must be captured and the corrupt government disposed.

True.
The Alamo and Waco were compounds attacked by larger forces.
Goliad surrendered and then the soldiers were massacred by the Mexican force.
San Jacinto was a win because the smaller force attacked the enemy.
This to me proves the only way to win is to carry the fight to the enemy.

You are spot on.
My view is that the enemy is in Mexico City. That is where the fight should be.

SunkenCiv, Thank you for this thread as I did not see the earlier one.

Tripoli is in Libya. That was a reference to another expedition.
