Actually yes. I first learned there is no such thing as suction in my 11th grade auto shop class. But, it was subsequently confirmed at the undergrad level in college. By the time grad school came around it was just something you knew. Like "food good...fire burny hot."
University of dumbass it would seem.

Well even if it were, you have to respect the 11th grade auto shop class.
One has to wonder at the level of competence of an auto shop class with no vacuum gages. My phoquing studebaker has a vacuum gauge on the dashboard.
Now you date yourself a bit. I remember like it was yesterday when a block and a half from our house yep, there was a Studebaker dealer (of all dealers) 8 Mile Rd & Oakfield. and the Avanti came out. (in a small strip right on 8 Mile Rd. with a 24 hr. rest. a bar, party store, barbershop, dentists and drs. and finally a bank)
It was quite a bit revolutionary. 4 passenger muscle car, 289 (soon up'ed to 304) 240 or more horsepower with a Paxton supercharger. Even being a Chevy man all of my life, (dad caused that) I wanted one. But at $4-$5,000...way too much then. Now...fagedaboutit...
And that supercharger pushed air through the carburetor.
Yes, meaning the engine was not getting the full potential of the supercharger but because it was there, was still...not naturally aspirated.
That poses a couple of questions. Is a carburetor only natural aspiration and a turbo or super charger unnatural? When you turn on the shower and the velocity of the water creates a low pressure area that moves the shower curtain toward the water stream natural or unnatural? I don't think anyone would say that the shower stream of water sucks on the shower curtain, which would truly be an unnatural act. When a tornado impales a straw in a fence post, is that unnatural suction? Can't be because suction doesn't exist. So it has to be natural. When my knee is the size of a watermelon and the ER Doc aspirates it with a syringe is that not naturally aspirated? Since the plan the ER Doc had was to draw off fluids in my knee the fact his needle/syringe did exactly that seems to be a natural process. What is unnatural aspiration if the machine was designed by an engineer to work within the understood guidelines of physics? Where does natural top and unnatural begin when a system is designed using fluid mechanics?
The act of aspiration is the act of drawing (sucking) or inhaling a gas or fluid. It is my understanding and I think I am on point here, is that given that draw or suction is the only means by which that gas or fluid is aspirated or drawn in or out of say a given chamber or the atmosphere, it is naturally aspirated. Yes, suction is a lay term but still apropos here.
Once an additional force of air or gas as in a vapor or even I guess, a liquid such as a pump, turbo or supercharger is used, that aspiration is no longer natural. Hence the description of cars with a carburetor (no longer in production) or fuel injection are called...naturally aspirated cars or cars with naturally aspirated engines.
