That's because it's _mostly_ (or entirely) the "sucking" action above the wing that contributes the most to lift.
No, that is the *result* of lift, not the *cause*.

I have been thinking about this over night and think I agree with you here. I've been biased be a comment a teacher (which I respected much) once told me but which after thinking about it some more is unrelated to this subject.
