I don't think this is right UC. I guess it depends what you mean by "as hard as you want" but with an edge as thin as a razor (note - much thinner than any kitchen knife I own) pressing hard, even on a paddle strop seems like it would roll the edge, if only from compression of the leather.
I take your point that the strop should be pretty flat, hence the admonition to put good tension on it but I think some light pressure is all you'd really want - for the most part.
My stropping has a long way to go (with a razor - my knife stropping is fine) but I'm finding "light" is definitely the way to go.
I do reserve the right to reverse this position as I figure out what I'm doing though
