If a boat slams up against a dock, some of the water splashes up against the dock. This is the order of magnitude we're talking about. It's visible!
Some. The question is how much.
A functioning airplane also radiates heat. And has a slight magnetic field. And offers a fairly large ionic imbalance. And even has a slight gravitational attraction.
The point is not that any of these things theoretically exist. It is if they are of a scale to be either a) significant, or b) observable.
You might have a degree but you sure as heck ain't an engineer. Because this is one of the basic things you have to do in the professional fields; to discriminate between first-order effects that you need to include in your calculations, and third-order effects that have no significant impact.
