So picture a cross section at the hinge. No, maybe I will try to draw one and post it? Imagine the hinge line of all aileron hinges 1/4" below the bottom surface. The ailerons are on a lever of sorts, and the flow drives both rearward/downward the same amount.
Then imagine one side with hinges 3/8" below the bottom surface. Same amount of relative wind, but acting at a longer lever arm.
It is the see-saw problem. Equal weight players have to sit equal distance from the fulcrum, or the game doesn't work.
