According to the "Coanda" believers, if the birds actually get their
lift from Bernoulli, then there would be no downward pressure change
and the truck would weigh the same.


By God, I've read that last para there about 15 times and I still
don't know what 'you' believe...so do 'you' think that the truck
weighed the same or not? (also I'm assuming that the trailer with
the birds inside was more or less air tight)?
