If it can safely protect against small fast moving objects this implies protecting against larger ones would be unsafe.
Exactly.
But there's still nothing that says that you can't try and protect yourself against larger objects.
And fail. Because we've nto seen a singel instance of a kinetic barrier stoping large objects. Ever.
Everything implies otherwise.
Sovereing ramming the Turain cruiser- ti's kinetic barriers did nothing.
Sheppard ramming teh Shadow Broker - the barriers did nothing
Normandy moving trough the debris field - we see debries hitting the HULL
People sitting on chairs with barriers on
Liara getting hammered by Atlas (it's fists are a large object)
Occulus entering the Normandy cargo bay.
etc...etc...
1. Sovereign's impact simply overwhelmed the kinetic barriers of the cruiser
2. Shepard was held back by the Shadow Broker's shield. Unless you're talking about that special shield he brings up after you strip his defenses? That clearly is a different type of shield
3. The Normandy barriers did protect it from the debris field. The debris that brushed against the hull was stationary, so that's different from moving slowly. Clearly the barriers did affect the debris because they went from 40% capacity to 30.
4. Chairs are stationary objects. Moot point
5. Not sure what this one is about, but once again, force overwhelming kinetic barriers
6. The Occulus used a lazer to punch a hole in the Normandy, thus destroying the shield emitter in that section.
