From what I've been reading it seems like people are assuming that the aileron is far enough from the body that it is in free flow air.
To clarify, my explanation was based on an aileron in close proximity to the body, picking up slow moving boundary air and accelerating it though a slot. Faster moving air equals lower pressure, the air above falls to meet it.
We need to clarify if we are taking about wings in free air or things called an aileron, as there seems to be some talking over each other here.
