Does electicity flow from positive to negative or from negative to positive?

 

And

 

Why is the direction of electrical current opposite to the direction of flow of electrons?

the electron has a negative charge, so electricity travels from Neg to Pos.

Is that not just a result of a historically wrong guess that it has been academically convenient (and confusing) to retain, from before electron theory?

There are instances where positive charges flow. But that's a minority of the cases.

Yeah, you can pretty much blame Ben Franklin for it. The 50/50/90 rule in action. (given a 50-50 chance, you will guess wrong 90% of the time)
