could someone explain this to a non-pilot ?

Although the tail experiences an increasing negative incidence due to downwash with increase in attitude...


Is this saying that the flow behind the wing produces a 'downwash' (deflecting the free stream vector downwards I suppose) at the high tail at pre-stall aoa ( so that the tail is more or less always in perturbed air ?)
