Default Defensive Attack + MaxST

So weapons with a Minimum ST there's also a maximum ST that's triple the minimum. And the MaxST includes any damage bonuses such as All Out Attack and Weapon Master. That all makes sense, the weapon can only do so much damage.

What I was wondering is if it applies in reverse. If I have a ST80 guy using a ST16 axe, he only gets to use ST48. But defensive attack gives a -1/die of damage. Since his normal swing is 11d, -11 still isn't quite the -4d (average 14) of 7d that ST48 has. Would he be able to use Defensive Attack and still do 'regular' damage while also being able to parry with it?
