D&D 5E (2014) Vecna's Dread Counterspell vs. Counterspell -- What's the Diff?

[Charlaquin]

Yes, it is sound. It just doesn't matter.

But if no one is around to observe it, is it particles or waves?

(Yes, sound can be modeled as particles, though a sonon would have negative mass.)

 

[Bill Zebub]

If I’m alone in the woods where my wife can’t hear me, and I have an opinion, am I still wrong?

 

[James Gasik]

Can an opinion be wrong? I'm going to say an unobserved opinion is neither right nor wrong until it is rigorously proven, but any opinion observed by one's spouse is automatically wrong.
