No. In other devices (electrochemical cells, semiconductors depending on
doping), they do because the charge carriers are not electrons. And it’s still
just as irrelevant to any actual engineering. The choice of current direction
is arbitrary (no one denies that) and no matter what the choice it will always
be “wrong” in some circumstances if by “wrong” you mean it doesn’t agree with
the physical direction of the charge carriers.

Thank you for your comments, Al. But in an amplifier's vacuum tubes (as Jim,
myself, and others discussed earlier in this thread), are charges moving from
anode to cathode opposite the flow of electrons?
