It's more 'philosophy' than workaday aerodynamics. And kinda intellectually dishonest, as they're relying on turning Popperian logic on it's head, with no way to prove the hypothetical issue, one way or another. Water 'memory' at the sub-molecular level.
I'll just repeat what I said in my first post:

It's why when people ask for explanations (not just descriptions) of why air on cars follows curved surfaces, why pressures vary (etc), it's best not to answer.

And when they say "It's easy - Bernoulli!" or "It's easy - Newton!" you'd best run a mile.
