Non Lethal Dmg Dnd 5eLethal

The Core Rulebook has very little to say about using lethal weapons to deal non-lethal damage. You can but with a -4 penalty. There are things that negate that penalty, but I am concerned more with the effect.
If you are using a heavy pick to deal non-lethal damage, wouldn't that mean you are not trying to hit them with the pokey bit that would normally cause lethal damage? If so, wouldn't a critical hit as non-lethal mean that you are hitting really well, but not as the weapon is intended? How would it still do x4 damage on a critical as non-lethal?
If there are updates, errata, etc. beyond the Core Rulebook, please let me know.
If there isn't any futher information on this, what does everyone here think?

My rule is that you get a critical with the highest available damage, and if it matches/exeeds half the enemies health, it's instakill, if not, then the damage stays but the enemy lives. So if you used a d6 dagger to slit a throat, it'd be 12 dmg + str/dex, instakill on half health mark. D&D 5th Edition.
