Yes, please excuse my ignorance of the technical use of the terms.
It would be interesting to see an experiment that isolated any divergence of the airstream caused by Coanda-like effects. I don't know what that experiment would look like, nor if any lift at all would be generated.

For an asymmetric airfoil, zero angle of attack is defined as the AoA that produces zero lift.

It's not a hard experiment to do: make an airfoil out of cardboard and stick it in front of a fan.
That would have no coanda effect though, right? I want an experiment that has only coanda (or similar) effects in play.
Why not?
I've seen it defined as the chordline being parallel to the flow.
Yeah, you can define it that way too. But that's not a very useful definition when you're actually flying an airplane.
