A silly "actually, this is how wings generate lift" video

This one claims to debunk the "faster-traveling air over the wing creates lower pressure, so the higher pressure under the wing creates lift" by explaining that "higher-velocity air over the wing results in lower pressure, and the lower-velocity air under the wing creates higher pressure, resulting in lift.

If that sounds like proof rather than debunking, that is because you were paying attention. It deliberately omits the implied centripetal force in the "myth" and defines it in the "explanation" but the video is making the same case in both instances.
