Yup, you didn't end up "spoiling" his day.Another way of thinking about it is, it is a wing like an aircraft, except upside down. Like a wing, the leading edge is thicker, therefore is to the front. Also like a wing, the top and bottom surfaces are different. On an aircraft wing the top surface is curved far more than the lower surface. This creates lift and keeps the aircraft aloft. We don't want "lift" we want downforce and that is why the wing is in effect upside down, so the "lift" is actually sucking the car down. Now to be fair, the spoiler is not really going to do much at normal speeds, so more for looks than function.
I once had quite a heated discussion at a car show with a fellow who insisted I was wrong and he was right with his reversed spoiler. I gave up and let him get on with life.
