That is a good description. The unfortunate and unnecessary "battle" is joined when any two blokes start to 'defend'.
The paper Owain references is a case in point. Two highly educated and experienced scientists are proposing a better way to TEACH lift. They suggest a return to an emphasis on Newton.
And why not, they list several demonstrably false premises in the history of teaching Bernoulli.....
I won't pretend to understand why Bernoulli is preferred by a group of highly skilled and smart people, except to say that Bernoulli is well understood and along with circulation theory, satisfies a desire to unpack the complexities....
If Owain cannot explain a vortex, I won't even try. But I would start with Newton, Mass, energy...... And viscosity....
