  This is such an incredible topic. It will be very difficult to verify
truth from fiction, but here's my take.

  The mission of voicing would be to have a hammer that will compress until
it gets the strings at their maximum deflection. At that nanosecond, the
hammer should get away from the string by it's own stored energy (compressed
felt). When it doesn't, it is using the string's energy to be pushed back
from the strings. This would then decrease the max sound output of the
strings and would dampen some part of the harmonic structure of the sound.
But this is all a question of balance and equilibrium. Only our ears can
tell us what's the most desirable sound a piano can produce.
