Surprised that nobody has jumped on Oxford's post, where another classic misconception is put forth, that of implying that the Newtonian model for lift and Bernoulli each explain part of the lift and that they two parts of the whole, rather than just being alternative models for the same thing. There is no such thing as being "part Newton" and "part Bernoulli". I like the description above to measure waste paper, that's a good analogy.
