the meantime, one comment inserted below.

No one ever said youi did.  But, flow parallel to the wing surface is only 
horizontal at one point on the top surface and one point on the lower 
surface.  The flow has to be integrated along the full length of the 
surfaces of the wing -- which isn't horizontal.
