There are two, types of pressure in the water main staic pressure when all is turned off, and flow pressure which is lower that static, turning the tap 1/2 off only reduces the flow, try sticking your finger under the tap when its full on, and then try to stop the water coming out, turn it down a bit and try again, you'll still get sprayed only not as much.
