It gets to be more and more apparent that you are incorrect in this.
And to me it gets more and more apparent that you haven't done thorough research, but who cares? Why let it distract and derail a conversation which has almost nothing to do with that?
That is the real question, which i suspect you already know the answer to :(
Yes, it is a major distinction.
Of course it isn't. Don't be silly. The force has not changed AT ALL. Only the direction is altered. Altering the direction (of two otherwise identical forces) doesn't fundamentally change a force - that would be an insane notion with no support in reality.
Before I begin, are you familiar with compression and tension forces, and how they affect objects?
Yes, but we are only talking about one simple object here. Pushing an object one direction (towards yourself) and pushing an object another direction (away from yourself). You will only get confused again if you try and make it more complicated (with springs/elasticity or other distraction). There is time enough for that once we are done keeping it simple!
