From the sentence "A force of four ounces deflects a thousand pounds," we know that the technique is not accomplished with strength.Reference: THE TREATISE ON T'AI CHI CH'UAN | Attributed to Wang Tsung-yueh [Wang Zongyue] (18th Century) | as researched by Lee N. Scheele.
Ken Gullette is absolutely right: Once you have sufficient mastery of T'ai Chi and self defense applications, you don't have to do much to respond to an attack. Minimal energy, minimal effort, just a slight turn of the body and a shift in weight, and you're in a positive of advantage.
