I am saying that the if someone punches you in the arm it ain't gonna knock you out. If someone punches you in the cheekbone it probably won't. If someone punches you in the mastoid it will probably have more effect than the two prior punches in ending the fight.

there is a difference between "applying pressure" and using some mystical explanation about magical points on the body that shut down your nervous system, disrupt chi or call on the magical power of the evil unicorns of the black forest

... and kicking someone in the head and transferring 1000-2000 pounds of force from your leg to their face. thats not "pressure"
