Commonly done in many texts. You just haven't read them yet.


Which texts are those?

I have read some texts:

1. Jeppesen got it wrong.


No they didn't




2. Rod Machado got it wrong.



Don't know who he is but if you thnk he's wrong he can't be.


3. That link that with the funny color lines that was posted in this
thread got it wrong.



Nope.

4. If you do search in Google for "Bernoulli" + "faster" + wing +
lift, you will see 1000's of pages that got it wrong.



Nope.



Plus I watched 3 CFI's at my ground school, the one I paid money to
teach me the theory of flying, get it wrong at the whiteboard.


There's too many things wrong with this sentence to even start on.

And of course, if the NASA paper is true, then there are even people
in this group who got it wrong.



Well, you did , as botht yourself and your sockpuppet.


Until 3 days ago, the number of people who had gotten (partially)
right was 1.



Oha, and who was that?
