Here's a thought, a soul is a build-up of Reishi particles, forming a living being, similar to a living organism made of normal matter. If a Quincy were to defeat said spirit, the result would incur no loss of energy, just loss of the soul's 'life'. Think about it, when your human body dies, no energy is lost. Just re-distributed, and no longer houses a mind. So in fact, he's been following the laws of physics all along. When Shinigami say that Quincy destroy Souls, it would be more along the lines of reducing the Soul back into the soul matter it was made from, no longer capable of life in its new, disassembled form.
