You’re pretty cavalier about claiming what dead men would do, especially
since you can’t seem to cite anything they actually said that supports your
contention.

Yes, sorta.

No. Stop. The ONLY person who is saying that the electrons are starting at
rest from some place inside the atom is you. Quantum mechanics says NO SUCH
thing.
Quantum mechanics says that you CANNOT confine an electron inside an atom
and have it be motionless. It will automatically have a minimum kinetic
energy, which is where the speed comes from.
So NO ONE in physics is saying, or has ever said, that electrons start from
zero to a good fraction of c when the atom is ionized. The problem you are
pointing to is imaginary, out of your own I’ll-informed head.
However, contrary to your calcified beliefs, having kinetic energy does NOT
entail having a trajectory. This is where you are broken, John. When
someone tells you that the electron has no trajectory or orbit in the atom,
your first response is to splutter, “well, you must be claiming it’s
stationary then, because those are the only two possibilities I can
visualize.” And when someone tells you those are not the only
possibilities, you start going LALALALALA, can’t hear you, because if it’s
not in my concept set it’s nonsense!”
