Thanks Rock for keepin it clean. I didn't get to see what got started, but thanks.

I'm still baffled about this wing causing more lift on the top side than the bottom.
The idea is to compress the air molecules until they're dense enough to sustain weight. Vacuuming yourself skyward ain't gona happen.
Basically the vacuum theory people are stating this:
Take a knife to a loaf of bread. While you are cutting through it (about half way through), turn the knife sideways and press down. Now that resistance you feel is the bread on the top side causing a low pressure on the top side of the knife and not because you are compressing anything below it.
