But it *does* make it the right answer to the written test when that

what is necessarily true, but on what the FAA wants for an answer.
After the written is out of the way, just learn to fly the aircraft.

Yes, and I learnt it as the answer to that Bronze question. It just
annoys me that official publications should enshrine myths as some sort
of truth.

Its no better than introductory texts showing packets of air dividing at
the LE of a ring and meeting up again at the TE, when a photo taken in a
wind tunnel shows clearly that doesn't happen. Far better to publish the
photo than a bogus diagram.
