This hypothetical situation you continue to propose is in no way equivalent to what we are discussing.

I was trying to get you to understand YOUR explanation.


In my example the hand is the weak point.

In your example the bearing is the weak point.

If it "is in no way equivalent to what we are discussing" ,

your hand will not fail

your bearing will not fail.


If is equivalent to what we are discussing

your hand will be subjected to greater forces

your bearing will be subjected to greater forces.
