I say that all the time, it even has some utility in the
Dynamic/static Erg argument (not that I want to hash that about right
now).

What I was really talking about is similar to a point made on the
Atkinsopht pages, that lift only exists when it has something to
resist.  And since he seems clear on that, it is difficult to imagine
how he also attributes no benefit to the lift existing or not. (but
maybe I have misinterpretted that)
