To follow in this terminology, what is wrong with the FAA is not that they didn't supply the right answer. In fact, they asked the wrong question.

Don't ask how the fluid gets thrown off. Ask why the blades don't fly in a straight line and the fluid does. The answer, the blades are accelerated centripetally by the force applied to them by the hub. The oil is not being accelerated.
