exactly
If someone can come up with a effective way to drill peng, lu, ji, an with apparatus and two hands,
"The problem is that you're not going to get agreement on what peng is (as a technique), and if you do, people will argue about whether it's being used in an ima way."

When done correctly, someone with no or weaker Peng-jin should be repelled or bounced backward when coming into contact with your body. That why I think of Peng-jin more as "what you are" rather than "what you do."
Having said that, I personally do not see any Peng-jin in the peng/lu drill clip that was posted earlier. It might be more suitable to call it a sensitivity/ arm-tapping drill.

When I made my statement, I was thinking of peng as making contact, listening, sensitivity, resistance, then changing directions and finishing as one movement. Whether that’s correct or not, that’s what came to my mind, at that moment. I would rather have left that reference out.
As far as using Peng (expansion energy) at one point of contact, do you have any video of a non-cooperative opponent, even one with weaker Peng-jin, being "repelled or bounced backwards" in a fight. Personally, I have never seen that out of all the videos I've watched of fights, push hands competitions, masters, etc.
