I made this thought experiment to visualize it: imagine a pail with a 30% open screen covering it. Let a small stream of water flow onto it; all the water easily goes through the screen and into the bucket. Turn a deluge of water onto it and most of the water flies off all around the bucket, yet some gets through, but probably not a whole lot more than the small stream.
