already here waves(rf) conventional were compared to photonic

One conceptual mistake that a lot of people make concerns
the roll of free electrons in a transmission line. It is
the fields/photons that move at the speed of light, not the
electrons. EM energy stored in excited free electrons is
unstable and fleeting. The electron always gives up that
extra energy very quickly in the form of photons which must
necessarily travel at the speed of light and are incapable
of some Old Wives' Tale "sloshing" response.

Just because the electrons are capable of "sloshing" around
doesn't mean that the EM energy can slosh around. The EM wave
energy is not confined to the electrons, it exists ultimately
in the fields/photons in the form of ExH wave energy/time
moving at the speed of light.
