This only works for a rational discussion.

counter-cultural ideology.


You wrote: "Yes, indeed it does matter who is "writing history." The
quotation
above is, in fact, quite wrong."

So the best approach is to take a glance into the original papers.
In Maxwell's model the magnetic lines are like the smoke rings. Nothing flow
along them.
In Heaviside's model there is the solenoidal flow.

It is not simplification. The both models are quite different.

But the both are a history.

Your radio waves travel in rare plasma. It is interesting that Faraday
predicted it.
