I would go a little further - My gut is telling me that if you queried
the majority of physics faculty about a "one-component model" of
electric charge, they would respond that they have no idea what you are
talking about. I can't in my wildest imagination believe that students
entering my General Physics class have ever heard of such a concept.
They all "know" that there are two types of charges: negative electrons
and positive protons. A scarce few might mention positive and negative
quarks with fractional charges.
I think we are in one of those classic situations on the list where
everyone is saying the same thing but talking past each other.
