"You can't push on a string" is a kind of engineer's cliche about the
mechanical properties of string.
Typically a loose length of string comes to mind when we think of string.
Normally we don't expect a loose string to offer (much) resistance when we
push on it we say "you can't push on a string".

Hi,
...but you are not pushing on a string. The "push" acts on the solid ribs,
which in turn connect with each other by
"pulling" on the central string. In fact all the strings are "pulled" on.
