I don't understand that either. Since pressure is force/area, and forces move things, why do you say that pressure doesn't push (or pull) anything?

What I mean is that you rarely use 'pressure' as the mechanism for an acceleration... The pressures are generally resolved back to point forces...

Pressures induce stresses and strains in materials
