Not at all. No ignoring going on. Full acknowledgement that the system as a whole still exhibits entropy.

But that bullet, for just a little while, is going the other way. Sure, it's imparting greater speed to the car, but that does not negate the existence of the bullet, or its direction and velocity.

Eddies in a stream don't mean the stream is magically flowing uphill. I am likening life within an entropic system to eddies in a stream. I am likening free will within a deterministic Universe to eddies in a stream.
