Someone did discuss this.
It's quite easy to get some flow resistively - shoes are often lowish
impedance. Ceramic tiles are good insulators BUT dirt and moisture will
provide leakage paths.

Body capacitance is tens of pF and is fairly small.

I've had a few shocks over the years from "single wire" events where the
second connection would have been an inobvious leakage path to ground.
