Perhaps for movie projectors, sure.

Again, the TKP specifically states that it creates a battering ram of force and projects it to the target.

Actually, it says:

Projects a battering ram of telekinetic force against its target.

Not

creates a battering ram of force and projects it to the target

The two are a bit different; yours specifies where the force forms to an extent; the original does not.

However, it's interesting how all you debate against is the specifics of how I defined a movie projector, while not addressing:

The ability to stop images from forming properly is a side effect of the principals modern movie projectors run on, not something inherent in the concept of a projector

Or

A telekenetic projector would (obviously) run on different principals. As such equipment is currently fictional, and the principles it would hypothetically run on are unknown if they exist, one can't say with certainty that a different currently fictional piece of equipment (shields) would stop those hypothesised principles from performing their task.

For that matter, you have dropped other sub-threads of this discussion as well:

It sort of is - again, you're discussing theoretical technology based on something that is currently commonly considered imaginary. The question of "is it valid, or not?" depends on which piece of fiction one looks at. For some, it is; for others, it isn't.

Likewise, you seem to have dropped Geo's points (reply 56) on the holes in not skipping things would cause problems (although that is related to my comments on Oleg's point), and Geo's point on where the force originates once past the inital breach of physics (reply 55 and 47). Further, you seem to have neglected commenting on something else I said "At worst, that just means he needs to change the description for his mod." (referring, of course, to the description for the TK projector. With that possibility open, your arguments based on the TK projector's description don't hold much water.)
