I agree with one of the paragraphs posted by Brian Abraham below...

Surely Bernouilli's theory is not completely relevant when discussing wings because his theory talks of a venturi.

Is it not wrong as well as inaccurate to assume that all the effects that occur in a venturi will be the same if you were to cut the venturi in half, ie. a wing?
