Richard,

That is incorrect, and even Terman never said such a thing.

Charge is not created or destroyed. It either keeps moving as current,
or it is stored. Charge storage is the equivalent of displacement
current. The terminology is slightly confusing at times, but it has not
changed for over 100 years.

Detailed discussions of this topic are found in virtually every
intermediate and advanced textbook on electricity and magnetism.
