I can talk for hours about the fundamental rules of aerodynamics, how wings generate lift

As there is a lot that is not know about this subject and details of turbulence theory and how it affects aerodynamic performance is still a subject of advanced on-going research, much of what you think you know about this subject is probably wrong. You know enough to fly an airplane, but not enough to redisgn a modern aircraft using a critical wing.

"much of what you think you know about this subject is probably wrong."

As I currently fly aircraft as diverse as the MD-11 and the F-16, your assumptions about my knowledge of the finer points of aerodynamic theory are probably about as accurate as your assumptions about the conservative mindset of Harriet Miers. But prattle on.
