You're drawing a line that isn't there between some forms of protection and others. How is the "a knife stabbed me but it didn't hurt me" spell closer to a force field than the "an arrow was gonna hit me but I stopped it" one?

Protection Spells should list all spells that are used for Protection. They are not limited to force fields. In no way does including arrow-catching imply that it is the same kind of spell, but they ARE both spells used solely for protection purposes, and it makes no sense to me to keep them apart because of some logic we're trying to find behind how the spells work.
