Maybe but DanHoward certainly seems to be suggesting it was an error in his judgement (sorry) in that he thought he was safe but in fact wasn't, i.e. it seemed to imply a lack of action on his part.

What you describe would IMO be an attack so great that nothing you could do would have stopped it.

Actual that's a point anyone ever tried playing that a critical defence can negate a critical (in RAW it would of course just be an extra roll for the sake of crit fishing). But In my suggestion it would be worth thinking about because you might well do both rolls anyway.
