Probably, but then, that's nothing out of the ordinary for you.

how can a wing's design decide that?...I'd think that only the
elevators could control the AOA?.

He obviously meant low angle-of-incidence (e.g: the acute
angle which the wing chord makes with the longitudinal axis
of the A/C). Angle-of-incidence can vary depending on the
wing design.

Really?...seems to me that the angle of incidence would be
decided by the way that the wing was mounted to the
fuselage...how could the DESIGN of the WING itself control the
angle of incidence?.

When Al said that the "Davis wing was a high aspect ratio wing
with a low angle of attack," rather than be contrary, nitpick, pounce
at every opportunity, misconstrue and put words in people's mouth
so as to gratuitously insult and argue for the sheer sake of arguing
like you so enjoy doing, I simply gave him the benefit of the doubt
and assumed he meant angle of INCIDENCE rather than angle of
attack.

Some advice, Lay off the personal insults, they aren't helping
your image much.

I'll take this unsolicited, worthless and hypocritical advice from
whence it came: the Sultan of Insults: Sourpuss Don Rickles
(aka: Gord Beaman).
