I think the point of contention between John, Anderson/Eberhardt, and I is
over whether the surface of the earth participates in the interaction.
In my opinion this is central to John's reasoning.  I see that if the
earth's surface does not participate in any significant way during the
lift-generation process, then John's critique of the Anderson/Eberhardt
paper falls apart.  There remains his comments about Coanda Effect, but
that's a different topic.
