> Now, some answers to why wings work are just plain wrong (like the original wrong answer -- the Bernoulli effect). However, when one person says "Wings work because they push air down, and the air pushes the wing up", and another person yells "No, that's all wrong! It's because of <insert-fancy-effect-here>", they can both be right
But arguably "Wings work because they push air down, and the air pushes the wing up" doesn't really answer the question because air being pushed down is as much an effect of wing working as is airplane flying, but the cause why wing works would remain mystery.
