What is a word or concept that describes a situation where one person puts forth a point of view, and another person does not directly address the position, but instead responds with an obvious, basic fact whose implications cast doubt on the correctness or strength of the point of view? This is intended to belittle the point of view.
We recently had a discussion whether "Pay for play" or "Play for pay" is the correct term to describe that you get money when you play. Which one is correct to point out that you get paid for playing?

Graduation day is coming; when trying to send a card to a friend I have a difficulty to decide which preposition to use in this simple phrase. "Good luck with/in/on your journey!" My first thought is to use "on". However; a google search shows the three prepositions are often used. Thanks!
I want to understand the proof of how to estimate variance from the Normal distr, using the method of moments. It boils down to simple algebra. I can't understand why I tried to prove it like this but get an error in the end.
I'm writing a text and am confused about a word I knew before. The definition is : to Take away the property of someone (by government or bank or a legal institution). I have found seize or take over, but I know there is better word for it which I had used in my translations before. Can any one suggest a better word?
In describing electron states in hydrogen, we have a very "simple" picture, at least in intro-quantum. But this only has one electron! As we permit more electrons, we also have things like the exclusion principle, which comes from the spin-statistics theorem, but that relies on the electrons having some kind of coupled wave functions, right? Why do electrons always come in pairs?
We assume that distribution of electrons follows Fermi-Dirac distribution / statistics in semiconductor model which will help to find the concentrations of electron and holes and the relationship between them. Why is it that we use this distribution? Why in particular is this distribution used in such models?

Kuvio (Finnish for 'pattern') seems to be a very general tool for diagram making. Which are the major disadvantages? Why isn't it used more often (only one Q/A on the site seems to mention it)? Can it be used in papers sent to mathematical journals? About Kuvio and other packages on diagrams
"Do you think the children enjoyed their meal?" As you can see, this question started with the "Present Tense's auxiliary verb" which was "Do". Why can we still use Past Tense's verb (enjoyed) then? By the way, I'm a newbie. Named "David"

We know that magnetic field arises due to relative velocity of charged particle . Electrons in wire move at very slow drift velocity but relativistic variation of magnetic field doesn't seem to apply on them because if observer also travels with drift velocity , magnetic forces on wire should vanish if its in external magnetic field but it doesn't ?
According to my teacher, an electron is point sized and it does not absorb or release energy. Moreover, my teacher says their orbital absorbs energy rather than the electron. If that is the case, then what about the photoelectric effect, in which electrons release energy after excitement?
A closed group in Facebook bash me for asking them if there's such word as "UNSWAPPING" I reached Google and Dictionaries of which I failed to find this word. Yes, there's an adjective "unswapped" but I never found "UNSWAPPING" please help me. I want to know the precise answer. Thank you!

Electromagnetic induction sounds quite analogous to inertia to me. Just like inertia it opposes the 'change'. So is this phenomenon has something to do with what we call inertia for macroscopic objects. And do electron has some inertia like property to create this phenomenon.
Take a video camera and crank up the frames per second rate. Disregarding current technological advancements, could a camera's FPS go so fast that any two captured images be identical? Would accomplishing this defy "time"?
It is tempting to switch to unicode-math. But there is (at least) one point that I still don't like. That are the double stroke characters. They look simply terrible in XITS Math. Just compare: with Are there any better options with unicode-math? At least they should be serif!

If we have a solid conducting sphere with charges around it, then the electric field inside the sphere is zero, otherwise the electrons of the sphere would not be in equilibrium as there would be a net force acting on it. However, if its a hollow sphere, then why does the electric field inside the hollow sphere have to be zero?
In this sentence: "We would also accept an international transfer, but in that case we would ask you to pay your bank's charges at the time of the instruction to ensure that we received the full amount" is it correct to use "received" or should it be in present tense?
When must an edge for a connected simple graph appear in every spanning tree for this graph? I would have thought it was the midpoint of the longest simple path in the graph. However, there would then be another way to connect the graph, so location of vertices doesn't matter.
I'm editing a post that has the sentence: How much larger should it be to be secure? I've come across other situations where there are repetitions in a sentence (such as that that) and am hoping for a word to describe this occurrence and a generalized approach to rethink it so the sentence becomes clearer.
A question for "real" mathematicians who have become better acculturated to math-speak than this philosopher! If you read a phrase like ... the natural numbers equipped with the evens-before-odds order ... just what do you understand by equipped?

Do we need require to know the probability distribution for finding the time interval for a a particular number of events to occur ?
Many resources state that light skin/pale skin absorbs more UV than dark-colour skin. Doesn't black absorb maximum radiation? For an example, see this article: Natural selection therefore favored a genetic solution to that problem by evolving to a pale skin that absorbs UV more efficiently.

Or performing any other operation to get the system wave function. Can anyone show the math that what physics will be violated if i simply add the individual particle's wave function?
I found this phrase in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes book; this is the full paragraph, with my emphasis: You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherland, that for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination. Does it mean something like "more daring than we thought"?

The connotations may have changed since it was written, but doesn't the word "seated" evoke the image of the object under discussion being, to all intents, still? As in pretty much motionless? What am I missing?
