Sure. No. Near would mean close but not quite touching, and miss also means nearly hitting, or not hitting what you where trying to, but either way you look at it, the words are not opposites, which is required to be an oxymoron, such as awfully good, or military intelligence... Near miss might be best described as a redundancy, in keeping with Answer B, and the old saw: A miss is as good as a mile. Presidential Oversight... Is this an oxymoron? Tricky, given that 'oversight' is really a Janus word, a word which also means its opposite. I love military intelligence-- this could become a very entertaining stream...
