The literature disagrees with you. So does NEC. See the IEEE Emerald
Book and Green Book. Also see Ott.
The conduit DOES greatly increase the inductance of a wire within it
that is NOT connected to the conduit at both ends. But when you
connect the wire on both ends, you make the conduit part of the
circuit, and the current flows on its skin, just like it would on
any other conductor.
