Yep. Also, ignoring all the ways in which an electron isn't an electron. Electrons can be created and destroyed, and they are both indistinguishable and exchangeable. We can't assign identity to them, thanks to their Fermi statistics. They're just methods of explaining clicks in a detector.

I worked in particle physics for years and never once saw an electron. :-)
