Think about it.

It's hard to describe what I want in my own language, let alone in another...
Of course a lot of tiny pipes restrict flow alot more then one big pipe. But thats another kind of flow restriction and is in my thought less restrictive, then pushing water through some tiny-winy holes with, lets say, 90% less cross-section area to create the jet effect...
90% less cross-section area for water to go through against, lets assume, 15% less area.
There's bound to be a difference.
