I think we're seeing a clash of the justified equal and opposite reaction to the classical "bullets impinging the wing and bouncing off the underside" flawed explanation of Newtonian lift, and a very similar-sounding explanation of lift through what the air molecules (not bullets) actually do in a strictly physical sense?

Edit: italia458, good example to counter the bullet theory. Adding that one to the repertoire.

Cheers,
Fred
