Why does flow separation give less lift?
A separated "suction side" would in my pov give zero pressure (which is the lowest possible).
And low pressure on suction side is, of course, beneficial.
I think I got it now; as the pressure can not drop further a increase in angle of attack will produce less lift as the projected force (integration of pressure difference) in "lift direction" will be smaller.
