Telle -- because eccentric force is a function of rate of lengthening -- the 
faster the lengthening (to a point) the greater the expressed measurable 
force. All eccentric actions result in a force greater than "push(ing) as hard 
as 
possible against an immovable object"

Telle -- been there, done that, see US PATENTS 4,863,161 & 5,344,374 and load 
cells require no "perceptible movement" AND "easy" is open to debate.
