KnockBACK against ST 0 Diffuse Creatures

Rules as written and canonically speaking, diffuse creatures DO suffer knockback (p. B378) as usual, right? I realize that diffuse creatures ignore all knockdown (p. B420), but there's no modification to knockback due to that trait, right?

What about knockback against ST 0 creatures as Diffuse ones often are? Let's say a Dungeon Fantasy Knight swinging a mace rolls 20 points of basic crushing damage on the dice. How far would a DR 0, ST 0 creature be knocked back? If there's a difference, how far back would a DR 0, ST 0 diffuse monster be knocked back?

Seeking page references and rules quotes. Thanks!
