There is a minefield here too in the terminology, where oversight conveys both ‘monitoring’ and ‘a minor error’; ‘overlook’ conveys both ‘view from a higher vantage point’ (as a building vis-a-vis the next-door garden) and …. ‘to make a minor error’ or ‘to purposely ignore’ (perhaps the most applicable in the case at issue as for instance, ‘When considering his application for a sensetive senior governement post, the selection panel opted to overlook his shady past dealings’).And you’ve gotta love the coolly Yogi-influenced, “D.O.A. even before it even started.”
