Hey everyone - I've not looked throuh the Bestiary as heavily as I'd have liked to, so this one may just be me being very used to running PF1. I've done a quick look through the Bestiary, and it seems that the only creatures that are immune to Precision damage but not Critical damage are either swarms - which makes sense, you can still squish a rat but they're so tiny and so many you can't pick out individual weak spots - and Incorporeal creatures. I'm not really seeing the logic behind Incorporeal creatures being vulnerable to critical hits but not precision damage - anyone know what's happening there?

Incorporeal creatures should not have fiat immunity to precision or critical. If you are able to hit it, e.g. with a ghost touch weapon or energy, then you should be able to strike it both precisely and critically.
I don't disagree by any means, but as written they're immune to precision damage from a ghost touch weapon but not from critical hit damage from just a magic weapon.
