[Focault's Pendulum]

Whether she runs this year is still a mute though quickly fading point.

Read it again...it is allegorically...metaphorically...and grammatically correct.

Read the word mute...as silent.

First off, anyone who writes "mute point" is an idiot. In addition, the sentence makes little sense either moot or mute. How does a mute point fade quickly? Better yet, how does a moot point fade quickly?
