    electrons aren’t actually point particles, they are a probability distribution

    This is actually kind of debatable and a matter of interpretation. But yeah I doubt you would see a real physicist academic saying electrons are point particles.

      Yeah, there's a few other ways to define it that end up being equivalent (mostly) but I like this one because it hints at most counterintuitive properties.
