Is the "attacker" actually going with the flow & performing the stumbling/falling over like an aikido uke?
How long would one need to train in order to us this as self defense against a average male attacker?
Why do you think this is great tai chi chuan?
Please do not take offense at my questions but I question the practicality of this demonstration of tai chi chuan.
best,

Everything I said about Neigong and training methods is all wrong. I have been so utterly convinced that the opposite is true that I withdraw all of my former opinions on the matter
Unless I'm superslick in being able to convince all the people to do this bogus act, as you call it, there must be those who have refused, don't you think? If I'm bogus, then those who have refused probably won't stay, will they? You would most definitely leave, won't you? Guess what...so shall others. Now, go and find them, and have them tell the world that I've been asking people to participate in a bogus push hand sessions where they are purposely make themselves ridiculous, and at the same time, making me super-extraordinary. This would be your solid evidence to support your allegation with absolute credibility, and you will be credited in debunking me.
You and your other big fish in a small pond-minded people who know nothing about Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan have made your groundless, petty accusatory opinions countless times about our power pushing training, and yet, none of you has managed to come up with any solid evidence to prove what we are doing is a bogus or a parlor trick. In fact, most of you don't even have enough courage to come and check for yourselves.
Do you know why you won't come? Because you would then have to show me your power, which most of you probably don't have much anyway, as I will show you my internal power. Discovering how weak you are is a bitch, if not embarrassing.
Would the assumption be I would just get offbalanced & thrown by resting my hand on the instructor?

One reason often given is that they don't finish the fight or seem pugilistic. The reason for this is the cultural revolution. Another is that it's fake, but it's not.
