Don't leading edge air slots/slats alter the story line?

Wing Design - Level 3 - OTHER WING ADDITIONS


NB1 BMW ACS Style Roof Spoiler - BMW E90 3 Series Coupe

Just trying to be practical here.

And in this picture again as above with the air path moving further rearward on the wing. The purpose of the leading edge slat is to accelerate the air across the top surface of the wing hold the boundary layer against the wings top surface in high angle of attack manouvres which prevents the stall allowing a much greater critical angle than a standard wing section (without the slat).
