I agree that it is not failing to remain standing....but you and I both know the difference between getting knocked down and falling down as if you were knocked down.
And it is not fading backwards.
Letting your self be displaced is certainly not the same as displacing yourself.

I agree. I should perhaps have differentiated between embellishing the contact and allowing yourself to be displaced by contact. Most of what I see is the latter, if it's not just bailing early in anticipation of the contact.
