:If you shot out a beam of electron holes (however you are planning to manage that) and then followed it up by shooting a beam of positrons, I very well guarantee that you are going to be able to tell that the two are vastly different things. You might not even need any special equipment to do so . . .

::My impression from the references given in this discussion is that the phrase "electron hole" can have two different meanings, in different areas of physics: semiconductors and Dirac field theory. I'm familiar with only the former, but the latter appears to be attested and to be equivalent to positrons. A bit like how "exothermic" means nearly opposite things between biology and physics/chemistry.
