I do not think we can conclude that no copper is ever formed, if Rossi's statements are to be taken at face value.

My intuition tells me that an arbitrarily high potential can form during a transient between two electrically insulated grain boundaries as well, and some interesting things can happen in that connection, although I am not yet able to characterize this system.
