Had this posted on the Misnomer thread and got no response.

Why is it called a tip stall?

Does anyone actually believe that the wing dipped toward the earth because the tip stalled?

If the tip is holding the wing level then why bother with the rest of the wing?

Is the wing just something to keep the tips away from the fuselage?

Lastly, what was the wing doing while the tip was stalling, was it yelling at the tip to stop stalling or just sitting there in the breeze waiting for the inevitable to happen?
