This is great thanks for the reply!

We all agree that bernolli's equation describes a difference in forces in a fluid that travel at different velocities in a same system. But wouldn't that argue that the "sucking" (i.e. vaccum) would happen actually within the wing itself? And, as you mentioned, the angle of attack not only necessary for a suffecient velocity gradient but the change in velocity at the surface itself also "transfers" energy (ie lift) by conservation of momentum, hence some of the lift HAS to occur where the wind interacts with the wing. I have to go but this is great. I will submit my drawings and calculations about wieght differential on upright vs upside down balancing
