You may be able to get past this by considering that the airfoil actually
turns the flow, rather than push or pull it. It turns the flow downwards, and
this acceleration of the air mass engenders an upward force that is lift.


The airfoil turns the flow downward....

What air gets turn downward....the air on top of the wing or the air
on the bottom of wing?
