I visualize a golf course where a gazillion holes are trying to grab a ball.
Should be a par 18.

They still refer to "hole flow" in introductory semiconductors.

REPLY:

"Hole flow" is an illusion, much like the moving lights on a theater
marquee. If it helps to understand things fine, but holes don't move. It's
more accurate to say a hole is created in one atom and disappears in
another. For a brief time while the electron is in motion, there are
actually two holes.  Neither one "moves".
