It's extemely easy to make gliders with and with angle of attack, and with and without curved top wing surfaces. Simple experimentation demonstrates that I'm right, fully apart from early aircraft designs that didn't have different curvature on the top and bottom surface of the wing.
Uh, okay. Airfoils experimentally outperform flat plate wings, even though it is true that flat plate with a suitable angle of attack does indeed provide some lift independent of Bernoulli. The contention I referred to was in regard to the relative proportion of contribution of either factor.
Planes can fly upside-down without plummeting into the ground, which implies to me that angle of attack dominates.
Listen, this is how modern-day-flat-earth and birds-aren’t-real type shit starts.
Let me just nip this in the bud with one word:

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
