But aren't you making the same assumption that the OP citation proved wrong? All the same arguments were made for diffraction, and now we see diffraction is possible. That doesn't mean reflection is possible, but it does negate or weaken this argument that it's impossible. Actually, if diffraction is possible, then a specific sequence of diffractors should be able to reflect, right?

Looks like Lawrence Livermore was able to get a peak of ~50% reflectance at 384 keV for very small angles.
