Exactley Tinny. Proven by simple experiment:

Get a wooden matchstick and apply a force of 2 kgs. Itll bend a tiny bit then snap.

Get a rubber eraser of equal dimensions to the matchstick and apply the same 2kg force to it. Itll bend. Apply 3, 4, 5 kgs - Itll STILL bend and not break. Might even bend right around 180 deg!

QED.
