If you read carefully, the premise of what they are saying is
that, if you have, for example, a sealed jar with air in it, you
are permitted to consider the air on the _inside_ of the jar,
pushing up on the lid as contributing to a force to lift the jar
off the ground, but you are not allowed to consider the air on the
_inside_ of the jar, pushing down on the jar un the upper surface
of the bottom of the jar.
The atmosphere is not a sealed jar. The source of air pressure in
the atmosphere is gravity, not confinement and kinetic energy.
I feel as though I am in the presence of

Take a tums, it'll get better

I'd prefer 2 touch-and-go's and a full
stop. I think that will clear my head.




Fair enough.
