... Looks like Jimbo is among the ever growing number of people who have realized that lift is just simple Newtonian physics. My sail puts a force on the air that passes by it and the air puts an equal and opposite force on my sail. That’s all, nothing more.
Pardon my amusement here but you don't need any knowlegde of physics to come to that conclusion. This is like saying that when you put your hand in the fire your hand will be heated up and the fire will get cooled. Leaving us no further in understanding WHY this is the end result of such an action. In effect everybody knows that a car will accellerate when you press on the gas pedal but doesn't mean that everybody understands what happens between pressing the peddle down and the car accellerating.
In short, you haven't provided much clarity to the issue apart form something that is almost obvious.
Also I think that a quatum physicist will have a problem or two with your statement that it is all JUST Newtonian physics.
The point you are still trying to make about circulation theory is still a mute point as it is nothing more than a different mathematical model of the same lift producing proces. It is not an explanation but rather a way of looking at that proces from a modelling (mathematical) viewpoint with certain characteristics. In some applications it is handy, in most however it is not. There is not much point in disproving as it very much is mathematically correct. Meaning that the results acquired by using this model are accurate. It is just like prefering to say that 2 = (2*7 - 4) / 5 instead of 2 = 1 + 1, both are correct expressions although the first isn't very practical at first sight but never the less could be very handy in certain special cases.
