And another layer of simplification: the pilot controls small control tabs which fly the main control surface into the position the pilot wants it to be in, which then moves the wing. Usually the connection between pilot intent and wing movement is: Pilot moves the stick->Aileron moves, changing lift on the wing->wing moves In the MD-80: Pilot moves the stick->Tab moves, changing lift on the aileron->aileron moves, changing lift on the wing->wing moves
