I did see a comment regarding current flow, conventional vs electron.
It seems to always to boil down to Ben Franklin. Ok, that's fine, however, the electron was discovered about a hundred years later Old Ben did his thing. Now since then, it sure seems to me that there was plenty of time to get current flow theory right in the first place. That is, no need to even talk about surplus vs charge.
I mean, it sure seems that science, engineering or what have you, wasted no time in saying oh, that the Earth orbits the Sun, and that is what we are gonna teach. So why can't electronics do the same? This is not brand new stuff after all; regardless of what is said. To my way of thinking, some academia somewhere just could not face reality and got the old way of thinking to stick.
