I'm ashamed to admit I didn't think about inverted flight until I read this article. Shit.

Once I realize something like this it makes me want to go back and do an integration / cleaning pass on my web of knowledge. Not sure how to do that in practice, though.

René Descartes did that once. I don't think it turned out well.
