"But I can tongue fine straight and center and I do not close the opening of the reed as I do not tongue the tip, but the area beneath it."

Well, then you have more reed in your mouth than I do. I learned to tongue at the corner from Leslie Starr, who presumably learned it from her husband Joseph Turner, former principal of the Baltimore Symphony. His website says he learned oboe from White, Sprenkle and Mack; there may be a connection there.

I'm not sure that aerodynamics within the mouth make much difference; while the velocity through the narrow opening of the reed may be high, the velocity of air within the mouth is probably imperceptible. It is like saying that a rock near the dam of a reservoir affects how the water flows through a turbine in the dam. Well, it does, but not very much!
