I like the mirrored silhouette. Alot. I picture it is a little "blurry" in outline, however, since it is composed of streamlines rather than Aluminum.
The incidence of the wing has not changed, hence, "effective". So to garner the benefit of AoA increase, "as if", we need to admit that the volume of airflow has increased beneath rhe wing, as it would had the leading edge raised.
Your preferred description works fine for me, my bent has to do with looking at things from different perspectives, anyway.
The "ram effect" doesn't need any further discussion, imo, except to say it is merely a part of the dynamic system, and should not be excluded in an objective setting?
Thks.
