This was an interesting article, but it failed to address how the presence or absence of the loose electrons in the insulator might affect the flow of electrons in the copper, i.e. the actual signal conveyed by the wire. To convince me I would have to see a theory that describes how the electron flow changes over time and/or measurements to that effect.
------------------------------------------
-Electrons don't flow, current flows through the electrons.
-What we have are 2 conduction bands....one in the wire and the other in the insulator.
-Eletricity will of course flow via the path of least resistance...ie the conduction band in the wire.
-The 'Loose' electrons ie the electrons in the conduction band will drift...see YouTube Video in the link.
-Until the conduction band in the insulator is saturated you can expect the signal to be blurred, incoherent and slow.
As far as Scientific proof ie White Papers, PhD thesis etc. sorry I can't supply that information.
But you have my "Theory" and as such, theories do not require proof.
