Great explanation as always.  So if "flow" is a mathematical construct, in
the early days of modern electricity why did the great fathers arbitrarily
pick current flow opposite of electron movement?  Couldn't they have
reversed it and maintained the concept at least wrt electrons while
maintaining the same mathematical construct of ignoring the sign of the
charges?

I think the cement had set before electrons had been discovered in a ancient dig is darkest Africa.
