Oh yeah, the article also pretty much discounts Bernoulli as having
anything to do with why a wing produces lift.

The Bernoulli equations aren't wrong. It is a simply a case that they apply
ONLY to a set of streamlines. Once the streamlines are determined, the
Bernoulli equation should be able to tell you the lift of an airfoil.
Explanations that point to Bernoulli and then fail to discuss how and
whence the streamlines are determined for a problem are bound to lead to
confusion and misunderstanding.
