Tim,

It might be that to really understand it I need to develop a solid basic understanding of the whole subject. Either actually taking, or doing
independent reading equivalent to a "Electrical engineering 101" class and a "Basics of integrated circuits" class, but while I am interested in the
answer,

That might be a good idea!!!

But, in trying to decipher where you are getting tripped up here, it may be in realizing that the currents that charge gates do not have to come "through" a series of cascaded switches. Just one switch behind the gate in question needs to open to let current flow directly from the power supply to the gate.

Pravin.
