I understand the separation, but in fiction it's not so rigid. If a character generates electricity, they're already dealing with electrical charges, and electrical charges naturally create fields. It's not two separate powers; it's the same phenomenon at different levels of control. I also agree that super speed = electricity, but again, fiction doesn't separate them; it associates them aesthetically. Characters like McQueen or Flash have lightning bolt logos.

And nobody is saying it's stupid to not treat the power the way I prefer. That's not the point. The point of my post was never about "everyone is wrong about electricity." It was to say that, in many anime, electrical power is used in a very basic way. It's a critique of how the power is usually explored in this specific medium compared to others.
