The low pressure above the wing never pulls up on the wing at all, it just
doesn't push down as hard as the high pressure below so the net force is up.
Suction is not the opposite of pressure, suction doesn't really exist at

I'm going to gently disagree, Bryan.

If the pressure above the wing is below ambient, it sucks...
