Well-written article on descriptions of electron (and importantly, nuclei to a lesser degree) behavior and state. A pair of strawmen to knock down in the process, most notably in the title and opening paragraphs; the second half way through, re mass concentration. clouds of moving fluff as a lay description of electrons isn't too bad. I guess the key part is to emphasize charge in addition to mass. Tangent: I'm surprised that, at least according to [this paper by Sebens](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.11988), Shrodinger's model of the electron wave function corresponding to a charge density…
