Large Ships Ignore Crits From Spinals?

Is it intended that large ships should ignore critical hits from spinals?

• Ships larger than 2,000 tons ignore critical hits from turrets and barbettes.
• Ships larger than 10,000 tons ignore critical hits from all weapons except medium and large bay weapons.
• Ships larger than 100,000 tons ignore critical hits from all weapons except large bays.

should probably be something like:

• Ships larger than 2,000 tons ignore critical hits from turrets and barbettes.
• Ships larger than 10,000 tons ignore critical hits from small bay weapons.
• Ships larger than 100,000 tons ignore critical hits bay weapons.
 
Sorry, I found the booby-trapped exception for spinals outside the text block, on another page.

Spinal mount weapons can always (and will!) cause critical hits.
How about moving that paragraph into the text block about critical hits on p25?
 
Proton torpedoes can cause critical hits on a moon sized space station.

Though I think that bulk should be able to absorb and minimize consequences.
