I can see how people might have a hard time understanding the concept of airspeed vs ground speed and what actually lifts a fixed wing aircraft off the ground, but was there really as much debate on this topic as was alluded to on the show?
Seems like several posters here were able to make a concise and logical explanation of the situation, which I would assume would put the issue to rest.
