This is why I like gated throttle designs. There is no "angle of attack" scenario, because the flaps open apart in the middle, leaving an unrestricted path for airflow. I believe there is an aftermarket carb company also working on a throttle body which opens radially, like doors in sci-fi movies, to allow for unrestricted airflow, as well.

Of course, out of all of them, I still prefer GDI with no throttle plate.
