I’m not a scientist but I don’t think his experiment represents what his original question was. The question was a person pushing the rod. This will not have the same effect as striking it with another “solid” mass.

Disagree. Someone pushing it is striking it with their hand. Which is also a solid mass.

If you “strike” a steel rod to push it rather then place your hand on it your going to have a pretty sore hand.

This is a physics experiment. "to strike" and "to touch" are the same exact thing. They're both "touching" an object regardless of force used. That detail, if it were important would have been added to the project.
