Default Backwash Causes Lift?

Matt, come on, you're better than that. You have to know what you're
talking about re current flow is simply accepting one convention or
another. In either case (using a plus or a minus sign consistantly
when writing loop equations for example) the calculations and
observations match fairly well.

The hand waving about lift is equally funny: people are attaching
names to various theories, but the reality is the physics used in the
analysis of lift work well enough to predict performance. The 'wise
fools' will wave their hands and argue, those knowing what they are
doing will design airplanes.


BADA BING!
