 The symbols in the ECN figure are simply wrong,
 by my opinion.  I first adopted the use of the
 simplified MOSFET symbols (with arrows like BJTs),
 because the trend is toward streamlined drafting
 and uncluttered symbols.  Many IC designers further
 simplify by eliminating any arrows, assuming the
 reader can surmise which is n-channel or p-channel.

 Yes, right.  But you're unhappy with that in AoE?

 Yes, exactly, but to my taste, there are too damn many
 lines for everyday use, now that we're using MOSFETs
 by the barrel, like we used to use BJT transistors. 
 My latest amplifier has 50 of them.  OK, it's a 10kV
 amplifier, but still, gotta keep drawings readable.
