So a critical success on a defence against an ordinary failure to hit, would basically count as a free extra defence?
That would seem to be a less favourable outcome than a critical hit on defence against a successful hit on attack?
Or do you mean a Critical failure on a hit combined with a successful defence roll gives a free defence.
I think both are the same margin of difference on the comparative success scales:
Critical success attack - successful attack - missed attack - critical miss on attack
and
Critical success defence - successful defence - failed defence - critically failed defence
