I don't either. But you specifically stated "I do not believe that there is such a thing as tunnelling of an electron or an electron-pair"

It seems your answer contradicts your statement. Can you reconcile them?
What I say is that I do not believe that the entity moves through the barrier when it tunnels but rather scales the barrier by borrowing energy for the time interval that it moves across the barrier. I suppose that whatever the actual mechanism is, we are stuck with the term "tunnelling" when referring to it.
