So it's wave theory in a wire we should pay attention to rather than visualizing particles? I thought Quantum physics taught that it's both and the observer participates in the effects.
Power as electrons moving is fine, often even preferable as it's so much easier to measure or calculate, as long as the analogy is not taken too literally or used where assumptions that permit that analogy break down (understanding antennas or transformers are common examples that totally break these assumptions and you have to move to more exact methouds).
The observer effect is for the quantum wave function, not an electromagnetic wave.
