There's nothing that says that two air particles that start together at the front edge of the wing and split up have to arrive at the tail edge of the wing at the same time. So why would it be that the air on top of the wing has to go

There's no fundamental difference between a corporate entity and a contract. Just because it has no physical manifestation doesn't mean it's a fiction.
