Sorry, but OCD wont allow me let it pass:
[ moot ]
adjective
open to discussion or debate; debatable; doubtful:
Whether that was the cause of their troubles is a moot point.
of little or no practical value, meaning, or relevance; purely academic:
In practical terms, the issue of her application is moot because the deadline has passed.

verb (used with object)
to present or introduce (any point, subject, project, etc.) for discussion.
to reduce or remove the practical significance of; make purely theoretical or academic.
SEE MORE
noun
an assembly of the people in early England exercising political, administrative, and judicial powers.
an argument or discussion, especially of a hypothetical legal case.
Is it a moot point or a mute point?
In the common phrase moot point, moot means (1) of no importance or (2) merely hypothetical. This is where moot most often gets confused with the adjective mute, which means (1) refraining from making sound or (2) silent.
