Believe what you like, but in my world the strings move the bridge, the 
bridge moves the soundboard, which moves the bridge, which moves the 
strings, etc. A bridge hard enough to not absorb the string pulse 
without moving will do it's job without my pretending to know what the 
little vibrations are doing.
