You can use either Newton or Bernoulli to explain lift, but the correct
way to explain it is to explain how both are correct.


That's because Bernoulli's equation is nothing more than Newtons law
(conservation of momentum) applied to a streamline. It's not that hard to
derive Bernoulli's equation from Newtons...

Nope. It's an energy equation, not inertial.
