  1. "In reality, the air travelling above reaches the trailing edge much faster than the air beneath" - you've just repeated the claim you wanted to debunk. "Centripetal acceleration - the force you also feel in a sharp turning car" - centripetal acceleration is directed toward the center of the turn, not outwards. Also, acceleration is not force. "The air above, therefore, gathers more speed than the air travelling below" - what do you mean by speed? When physicists talk about bodies changing direction, they use the word "velocity". You claimed in the beginning that linear speed does not have to change, because the molecules split at the leading edge does not have to meet at the trailing edge. How exactly the increase in speed is "coupled" with decrease in pressure? With shackles? How exactly the difference in pressure is generated? This is the key question of generating lift that you haven't answered.
