The air doesn't meet at the same point, if it did that there wouldn't be enough of a velocity difference to account for the lift. The velocity of the air going over the top vastly out strips that of the air around the bottom and the air over the top beats the air it separated from at the leading edge.
Aerocat,
<Deleted: Should have read your post correctly !! >
Edit2:
Or are you referring to the circulation model ?

Edit3:
I re-read your post, should have done that earlier:
You are referring to the circulation model.
OK, that is one of the valid explanations for the Lift of a wing

<deleted, explanation above >
With Newton I'm OK.
Edit:
It's a combination of Newton and Bernoulli, the proportion depending of the shape of the foil.
Thick Profile with steep TE => Lots of Newton
S-Shaped profile (flying wing) => very little Newton.
