The truth always makes itself known, one way or another. Prolonged dishonesty involves stacking lies upon lies to support the deception as a whole, but like a house of cards, it is fragile. The right touch at the right time can and will bring it all down.
Yet you do not provide any evidence to counter their own. Therefore, until such evidence is provided, theirs still stands. An absence of evidence is not, by itself, evidence of the contrary. And while an object moving is another alternative, it is still a reaction. What those who oppose what the study says suggest is that there would be no reaction, while even movement is otherwise.
And even if you do push something hard enough to move it, it still causes strain in your muscles if it is of sufficient mass. It still requires expending energy to move or to continue to apply pressure, which causes a drain on that which is applying it. There is no means of applying pressure without cost in some form.
Logic clearly dictates that the study referenced in the article is indeed correct. When pressure (which is what censorship is) is applied, whether to an object or a group of people, that which is being pushed upon either breaks from the strain or—if it is of sufficient mass and density—pushes back, either through motion or force or both.
For instance, if you push your hand against a wall hard enough, you will feel pain. Or at the very least, muscle strain as you increase the pressure you are applying. The same applies in any situation where pressure is applied in one form or another. Put individuals under pressure for long enough and hard enough, and they will push back.
