You can't 'add downforce' with a giant wing if the net lift is still positive. It may seem like semantics but it's important to think of the whole system.
there is only a single force but there are multiple things that affect that force. i think were talking about the same thing. i just think too many people get fooled into thinking that you can get downforce without consequence if you dont acknowledge that more than one thing may be happening at the same time when you refer solely to the net results.
