Understanding the congrence among many methods/theories is a very nice
thing, for it gives one confidence that they are correct, and the
ability to apply the one that's most convenient to any particular
problem. I would not want to take away wave theory, or any other valid
theory, from you; I would only ask that you better understand that your
pet is not the ONLY valid explanation.
The point is that in any disagreement between the lumped-circuit
model and a properly applied distributed network model, the
lumped-circuit model loses *EVERY* time since the lumped-circuit
model is a *SUBSET* of the distributed network model.
If your current charge concepts disagree with Maxwell's equations,
Maxwell's equations win *EVERY* time. Maxwell's equations do not
require individual charge carriers. They work just fine considering
only fields in the aether.
