[QUOTE="cosmo1, post: 1977689, member: 13442"] I've been looking at the title of this thread for a while. I'm not sure the OP meant to use "debunk". Maybe "surpass". UPS may be a lot of things, but it is not nonsense. "When you debunk something you show it to be false. Many magicians, including Houdini and Penn and Teller, have worked to [I]debunk[/I] the idea that magic is anything other than a very clever illusion. To [I]debunk[/I] something is to prove it wrong. The idea that music education is frivolous and should be the first item cut from the budget is something that music teachers word hard to debunk — in fact, they've done it by proving that students perform better in schools with strong music programs. The verb [I]debunk[/I] was first used by an American writer, William Woodward, in 1923, to mean "take the bunk out of something." Bunk means "nonsense." " Quoted from vocabulary.com. [/QUOTE]
