    You just have to ignore the existence of electron flow. Conventional current flow is all that matters, and the only people who use electron flow are those who design integrated circuits and lunatics

      You forgot science enthusiasts who are desperately trying to impress people.

      It’s also useful to think of the “ground” plane as a sort of well of potential charger carriers that the conventional current model overlooks. Aside from simultaneously visualising what’s happening inside simple ICs like BJTs / MOSFETs and the circuit diagrams I’ve found it a useful way for checking for common mode noise in circuit and PCB design.

      I guess this makes me a lunatic? Don’t know until we test it;

      Someone give me an asylum makerspace to takeover!

      You just have to ignore the existence of electron flow.

      And ignore magnetic fields completely?

      Also chemists doing electrochemistry where the direction of electron flow is very important. You also have to deal with anode and cathode being flipped from how you expect since you are putting current in instead of taking current out.
