Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but I believe that is the point I was trying to make? That he can be both keeping it together and pushing it. So there would be no contradiction in scaling AM and Deku from pushing it back.I fail to see any inherent contradiction in telekinetically pushing the cube and compressing it at the same time to keep it together as it fractures. Especially since he can merge metal into a perfect cube. Can you elaborate on this?
Wolfram was underestimating All Might since he was manhandling him a few minutes earlier; it is plausible he thought that they'll get crushed easily. Even a weakened attack would destroy a significant portion of the tower, and he can easily finish the job with an other attack. He is not that tight with deadlines; he just thought that he'll destroy All Might and the tower at the same time on a whim.
How do we know the cube wouldn't have gotten fragmentated first and then flown back in your scenario? Is there precedent for how MHA treats the physics of 'punching a giant meteor' situation?
Wolfram was not underestimating All Might at that point in time, that's the entire reason he brought out the cube in the first place. He was failing to kill them, couldn't even catch them, while they were batting away every attack like they were nothing. He was clearly becoming more and more frustrated since they were giving him far more trouble than previously, on top of the support gear he was wearing taking a toll on his brain by jacking him up on power, similarly to trigger, and that's not even regarding the extra quirk that AFO gave to him, which we know makes characters go mentally unstable.
Even the comments Wolfram made before he began attacking Deku and All Might implied that he was frustrated and angry, yelling about how they never give up and calling Deku a brat for preventing him from beating All Might. I severely doubt that he was attempting to hold back in this particular case with the cube, something that he claims, above all his other attacks, to be what will bring down the tower, and that he intentionally threw at the two of them to kill them.
I actually don't know if it would be flown back first then fragmented. It's entirely possible it could've broken first, so that point of mine holds no weight, I'll admit.
