Most software engineers without a strong background in physics or CFD won't be able to reliably explain how an airfoil works either. Having a wrong mental model (equal transit time of air molecules resulting in lift) does
not mean airplanes are not useful.

The question is not whether your mental model is incorrect, but whether the deficiencies in your model cause problematic consequences. For example if my model of how wings work is that "the slower you go the more lift you get", should I pilot a plane I'd probably end up getting in trouble.
