People get confused by such things don't they.
Sorry! I could have been more concise the first time through. Oh well.

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.

An aileron would be on a wing and effecting the leading or trailing edge, same for wing or top of car body. It would be flush, near flush (up or down) or set back and or forward slightly.
A wing would be a foil in a free stream of air.
Google images for both and see if it makes sense to you.
People who have assumed equal pressure air approaching the item in question have made a faulty assumption in my opinion.
