I've added some new text to the wiki. I'm trying to explain what Pushes are for. Your post highlighted some ambiguity in the text.
Does this text support or compete with what you experienced at the table?

What is a Push for?
Push for your theme. A Push is not between your character and another character. It is between you and another player. It is your chance to manipulate the scene so that your Glyph of Purpose gets the limelight.
For example, you have the Crown as your Glyph of Purpose, so you want to push for a power struggle in the scene.
Me: The prince says, "Don't worry brother, this family will make it through the war!"
You: I want to Push! I want your character, the prince, to continue, saying, "But we cannot afford any more rivalry." Then I want him to take out a knife and stab me in the back. "Sorry brother. This was the only way."
In this example, you have harmed your own character. It is not important for your character to "win." Instead, focus on representing your Glyph of Purpose.
What if two principal characters want to fight?
Wow. Are you sure you want such a brutal conflict? Seriously?
Pushes are supposed to further your Glyph of Purpose. Rarely will you want a fight, unless one of you has the Swords. Even then, only one of you will be served by continuing to battle. Really, really think about what Pushes are for. If you still want to have a fight, though...
One player should Push the other. [Etc.]
