At 50 cycles the skin affect is only note worthy on long distance power distribution and is fairly well behaved..
But at high frequency it ( electricity ) wants to radiate and flow any way it can and so it must be contained in specific wave guides to maintain its integrity for whatever ultimate useful purpose it is set to oscillate by a human ingenuity....
Wave guides can be as simple as a carefully laid out PCB or as sophisticated as a silver lined directional cavity designed to resonate the wave forms to deliver energy to a final goal or direction...
High frequencies tend to travel on the outside of the wire - to the extent that at very high frequencies - e.g. microwaves you can remove the centre of the wire making it into a tube with little loss.

"We" are not saying it in a clear and meaningful way.

I think he is referring to the scale of the wave to the conductor, in the direction of conduction. ?

Because 99.9999% of people don't understand the Poynting vector ?
