Default Feinting with Push

Actual table question: Can the Push skill be used to Feint?

On the actual rules side, Unarmed Combat Skill is not actually defined anywhere, but Push is stated to make an unarmed attack. I'm tempted to ask "could Push deliver a touch spell?", because Adventurers calls out unarmed combat skill specifically on that topic. Not to be accidentally helpful, Spells says you need a standard melee attack, a term which unsurprisingly appears nowhere else, but the “try to wrench your staff away as your attack” option lets me believe the expression means "a melee attack which is not a new special type because of a melee spell is involved".

As for what the answer should be, it would surprise me that a thing that can send someone flying across the room and can be parried, blocked or dodged could not be used to threaten to send someone flying across the room in order to divert their parry, block or dodge.
