While the argument can be made that a reduction in lateral tauticity can soften Pulsación due to its relationship with liminal stiffness, the broader consensus is only Californians actually believe it.
I'd be more concerned about those black golpeadors. You can't see behind them. For all we know the darned things are spring loaded. It takes a very deft touch to manage a sprung golpe.
If he used that term the way some do, he seems to be under the biased illusion as many are that this is the case.
Classical guitarists rarely if ever examine neck angle and bridge height. Without that info we don't understand the ACTION, neither over the fingerboard, nor on the right hand. If we do golpe we can talk about the percussive response of the top, and sorry but that has nothing to do with ease of playing which is 100% ACTION. Lower it and it gets easy but loses volume/projection aka response. Raise it, it gets stiffer but louder, more responsive dynamically. It is a balance to achieve. Finally humidity can affect the response so the guitar once easy to play loses all its bright tone and makes you want to play harder, and the guitar feels "dead". It dries out and suddenly she is back to life. But the top is giving the equalization not ease or difficulty of playing notes with your fingers.
I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
I mean, pulcasion is not the first thing that comes to mind when one mentions lateral tautness…
