Aerodynamics - why wings create lift - current vs historical discussions

In summary: Bernoulli's equation states that it creates pressure.In summary, the latest discussions seem to completely discount the differential velocity of air flow as a cause of differential pressure, but point to a differential pressure (pressure gradient) caused by the force acting on the air being accelerated to cause the differential pressure.

Correct (well, basically - there's a tiny pressure gradient but we can neglect that). That's a bit of a different case though, since that's a jet of a liquid surrounded by gas.
