Its called an analogy. Ok, I use a different one.

My house as a whole can withstand (by design) winds of 140 MPH. Now, if I took all the energy my house could withstand, and focused it into just one single part, say, a corner, it would not hold.

Another way of explaining this. A single stand of rope on its own, is very weak. Now, take hundreds of strands and weave them together, its very strong. Now do you understand??

BTW, yes, my house has about 1500 LF of steel built into it. I am an engineer, and live in a hurricane prone area.
