Can you use Entropic Strike to reflect any ranged attack with Deflect Projectiles?

I think this is correct, but want to make sure my understanding is correct and lines up with rules as intended.

So, Deflect Projectiles lets you deflect ranged attacks depending on the type of damage (energy or kinetic) the attack does, if you have a weapon that deals same broad category of damage. I think it's already been clarified somewhere that this is separate and distinct from if the attack targets EAC or KAC.

Also, our good good friend Entropic Strikes states that "for each attack, you can choose for this to deal acid damage, bludgeoning damage, or both." So, this means that you can use Entropic Strike to always deflect any ranged attack, right?


I don't see an obvious reason why not, either on a rules text or game balance angle. After all, its not like Deflect Projectile is super powerful.
