Default basic principles of flight

so what u are trying to say is that the result behind why the ellipse has a higher lift is because Every airfoil shape produces a different pressure distribution?..
from my results, my ellipse has a thicker chord than the plate..so can i say the reason between this lift diff is due to the thickness of the chord?
but how do i explain it?
sigh i am getting really ocnfused..guess i need to read up more
