Not personally, though I see what you're saying. The idea is reinforcing your shield lets them absorb or deflect some of the damage you didn't evade, so against a light/grazing shot, the shields will handle it and it'll be like you didn't even take a hit (and effects like ionization can't get through).

A bonus evade result is just how it's represented mechanically -- trying to do it otherwise would either be weaker or a lot more rules-complicated.
