מפני שהיא סולדת לאחוריה (because it shrinks backward) – when the continuous flow is stopped, that continuous flow/jet returns that flows gently that part of it was in impure liquids that were in the lower vessel and were conducted in a channel above to liquids that are in the pure upper vessel, and it defiles everything that is in the upper vessel.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וכוחו של תחתון יפה (that the force of the lower was stronger) – that its heat is greater than that of the upper [vessel]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon, for since the upper [vessel] is hot, even though the lower [vessel] is hotter than it (i.e., the upper vessel), the activity of the lower [vessel] is not recognized in the upper [vessel] and does not defile it.

היין שבכף טהור – and it doesn’t make it susceptible/fit [to receive ritual defilement], but it was not considered to be a liquid until he would empty it into the [other] vessel. And it is like he lacks a designation of liquids in regard to susceptibility [for ritual impurity, so also he lacks a designation of liquids regarding defilement and regarding wine poured as a libation.
