Interesting viewpoint. How do you know that pushing means your opponent has the goods?

If you always lay your hand down to a push when the flush (apparently) completes after leading with a 1/2 pot bet, what range of hands can an opponent play against you with pot odds on the flop? Let's assume that your pot sized bet gives away your fear of the flush and that he knows you will lay your hand down.
