That was more or less my thought as well. The only thing that I can come up with is to point ot the fact that Etheric energy is related to BUT not actually electricity. Im thinking of it in terms of a third energy form, along with Electricity and Magnetism, that are all fundamentally related but distinct in their behavior.
...I never considered that. We know that a lift crystal can convert etheric energy into anti-gravity. Maybe iron converts etheric energy into anti-electricity that would cause galvanic corrosion to occur in the cathode (copper) instead of the anode (iron).

Every time you do something, somebody says: "(gasp!) That has this implication and this implication and that implication!" and you go like: "No, what I really meant was, the curtains were blue."
