I read a very good article once titled something like "Why Bernoulli doesn't suck" That may not have been the correct wording but it was a play on why Bernoulli's theory didn't correctly explain the lift generated by a wing.
However it made one very good point which was In order to explain the complicated truth it is sometimes better to use a simple lie
In other words trying explain lift correctly was not easy to explain nor understand whereas the Bernoulli theory did the job well enough to explain what happened so far as a wing (or any aerofoil section) generating lift.
