What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

      The electrons are very much moving, even if at an incredibly slow pace of ~1cm/s. It’s just that they push the electrons ahead of them which puch the ones in front of then, etc. which makes electricity so fast.

      It is however somewhat true for AC because there the electrons just get pushed back and forth 50/60 times per second, making them more or less stay in place

      In DC they actually are moving, but it’s something like a few millimeters per hour on average
