"Sounds like" is not "is." Go look at the video of the head push. It seems to be close to what it "sounds like" Tenryu and Mihahiro were doing when O Sensei sat down and said to push him.

Stop frame it with the pause button -- read my analysis I linked to above -- and then answer this question. How do you push on a prop that won't bear your weight without falling over yourself?
Is that why you are in this -- to match feats?
Yeah well, here's the essence of your analysis.... you think Ueshiba is making deliberate small motions that are part of your "rotational movements" theory. He's an old man that his trying to keep his jin path solid against an incoming push. You're so busy trying to justify an absurd theory that you don't even offer the common-sense viewpoint as a "maybe". Good luck in your search for a clue.
