You can never reach bedrock.


As a kid, the current convention always bothered me,
because I knew current was a flow of electrons, and electrons went the
other way. Did current reflect a hole-centric way of looking at
things?


So you just think of current as an abstraction. You don't think about
holes. You didn't need to learn (at first) about holes. But you also
didn't need to learn a lie about positive particles. It can just be left as
an abstraction. So can voltage.
