A lot of people probably know Bernoulli's principle and how airplanes get off the ground by fast moving air resulting in a pressure difference causing a lift, this doesn't mean you're qualified in having a say on airplane wing design. Same with Bitcoin, you probably aren't qualified enough to having a say in a softfork getting merged.

The main cause of lift is that the wings deflect air downwards, raising the plane upwards. The longer upper surface helps with the Bernoulli principle and to minimize vacuum drag, but it is a smaller effect. I could be wrong, but this is my understanding.
I know that was an analogy and not your point.
