@justbe: Your signature ("Silence speaks with power") made me wonder "What is a phrase that combines two words with opposite meanings". google says:
The term you're looking for is oxymoron, which comes from a Greek word whose literal translation is 'pointedly foolish'. An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two apparently contradictory terms appear together. Examples include a deafening silence, harmonious discord, an open secret, and the living dead.
I think there might be a less pejorative name too.

Surely, I understand that you used it to make a special point.
