Seems like the air would be passing slightly "over" the pitot tube
opening rather than "into" it, thus reducing the measure air pressure.
Is this correct? Is indicated airspeed affected by high AOA?

Early in my training, I was warned not to rely on the airspeed
indicator while the plane was in a slip. So I don't even look at it. I
slip pretty hard, too. ("High and hot and slipping like crazy," as
they used to say of Tom Buck.)

Is that dangerous?
