The Pauli exclusion (or inclusion, if you take bosons) principle feels to me like rubbery wave-functions pushing against each other (or sticking together), even though I understand that antisymmetrization is not actually a microscopic force, and interacting electrons are not actually separate entities.
I feel like that’s extremely misleading. The Pauli exclusion principle is not a force, and cannot cause a particle to accelerate.

So… you repeated what I wrote (“antisymmetrization is not actually a microscopic force”) and then call what I said “extremely misleading”? Have a downvote.
