just because damage is negated doesnt mean it was never taken in the first place, the wording is fine
Well either you or me do not understand the definition of word "dodge". In my mind, dodge means that the hit that should cause damage, and, as result, the damage it should cause, would be avoided, aka not taken. And I'm having hard time trying to word what is happening from your point of view to consider damage be taken but also not:)
