The key is that the pushrods aren't that well centered in the tubes. 
There are places where they are close, and they can be closer if the 
pushrod tubes aren't installed carefully.

Yes, they can flex and hit the tubes. If they bend, they dislocate 
the tubes and you've got a big oil leak and a cylinder that no longer 
works.
