Your "not" is misplaced. Deflected thrust is generally considered a type of vectored thrust. One can say that:
"Vectored thrust" is the design aim,
"Deflected thrust" is one common mechanism for achieving that aim.

But really, it's better to get back to the current whiff on the workbench.

Beg pardon? What goalposts? That's an awful lot of smileys for a very trivial technical clarification, sorry am I missing something here?
