Understanding the congrence among many methods/theories is a very nice

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.
